Daily/spirited/track driving.
Good dry/wet grip, however they end up overheating, losing some grip and getting damaged. The treads of the tire loses its integrity.

Fitment comes from each tyre's manufactured size list, and the sizes are the ones drivers reported when they reviewed. Check the size, load index and speed rating on your own doorplate before buying - a size a previous owner ran is not always the size your car left the factory on.

What Toyota Corolla T Sport E12 drivers say
The most recent owner reviews from this car, in their own words.
This is my second review after experiencing two summer seasons with tyres.
I'm not a sporty driver but I like to roadtrip a lot and I've driven also some curvy mountain passes Transaplina and Transfaragasan on them plus plenty of kilometers on highway from Gdansk to Tuscany.
I don't understand some of the negative reviews. My car is poorly soundproofed toyota corolla but I didn't notice some unpleasant levels of noise. Fuel consumption is excellent, wear is very good, I think that I'm aiming for at least 55-65.000km. We'll see.
Considering grip, dry grip is good, however when really breaking hard you have kind of spongy soft feeling but I didn't notice tires slipping.
What I think is about average is wet grip. Driving in heavy rain on highway feels very stable and predictable.
In the past I've had continental premiumcontact 5 and hankook ventus prime 3. Compared to hankook I feel safer on wet roads, compared to continental I get better mileage and smoother passing over potholes.
To sum up, I consider this tires efficient safe choice for touring / cruising. If they'll last up to 60.000 km I'll say that they are also worh money because they were quite pricy. Would I buy them again? No, I'm planning to try as many tire brands as possible from pure curiosity, next I'm planning for Goodyear. Do I regret buying them? No overal they fit my driving style and they are huge update compared to Hankooks.
Also I'd like to add final information, my tires ale labeled made in germany, someone complained theirs are some asian country, maybe there can be some quality issues? I don't know.
Not impressed by these tires, they show a lot of wear after just 10k kilometers. They are somewhat noisy on highways, not terrible but noticeable. On dry they perform well, on wet road they don´t fell that stable. Considering that I had ones with W speed rating - I can´t imagine driving them over 160km/h they feel like average touring tire, definitely not suitable for sporty ride.
Excellent premium tyre, it is almost as quiet as my summer tyre and has surprisingly good grip also on dry road. I´ve experienced black ice on highway. My car passed without issue and 5 minutes later there was huge pile up on the exact same spot! I´ve driven them also in heavy snowfall and even tired to overtake several cars on snowy road. Tire was perfectly stable, traction control light kicked just for a second when I was passing through mass of heavy wet snow between lanes. Overall I´m very happy. My Hankook tires from the past feel like crap comapred to michelin.
16 months and 29k miles with those tyres and they are still holding very well with lots of life left - previous Continentals lasted only 26k miles. I am a very calm driver, so cannot comment on their extreme capabilities , but I like them for being comfortable, quiet and long lasting. Will definitely buy them again
I bought a set of TR1s for my Corolla T-Sport to see if they could wake the car up, and boy did the car come alive. Not only is the tread pattern pleasing to the eye, it does very well in both wet and dry conditions. For a near 200 bhp FWD car, these tyres are perfect. They don't break the bank compared to Pilot Sports or P-Zeroes and they do a really good job in fast driving. Even in the wet these tyres are fantastic. They don't struggle to put the power down that badly and with the TR1s on the car, not once has the car aquaplaned through puddles or trails of water on the motorway. They also provide a good ride when cruising, which is surprising but also very nice, as you'd expect. I can't blame the wear as I have been driving hard - I recently rotated the fronts to the rear as they are near the legal limit. I recently bought a set of MX5 alloys to go onto the car, and once they are refurbished, I'll be getting another set of TR1s with a 45 profile to keep the Corolla's new found underdog handling.
TL;DR - Very good performance tyre for less than Pilot Sports or P-Zeroes

Easily the worst set of tyres I’ve ever had on a car, fine in the dry but once it’s wet you have to be very careful you will lose grip very easily.
You can almost feel the car trying to lose grip as you go round any sort of slight bend in wet conditions. On a wet roundabout all you get is major understeer unless you drive around really slowly.
Spent the extra few quid on a decent set of tyres.

Decent wet/dry grip, nice looking tyre. Racing pedigree around the brand led me to buy. Lasted 14 months/8k miles before they cracked and were deemed no longer fit for purpose. Not great value for money.
A good all-round tyre for the somewhat sportier driver.
The tyre grips decently and has some good feedback. They are nowhere as sporty as Pilot Sports, but they corner nicely. They handle well in the dry and decent in the wet. The tyres have never lost traction or aquaplaned in any situation I've been in. The only bit lacking was some highway stability.
I've had pretty good fuel consumption and wear results throughout the years I've had these on. They have lost 3,5 mm of profile since autumn 2017 with frequent pressure checks. The sidewall does start to crack a bit and the rubber compound has lost most of its freshness by now.
Really good tyre , handling and comfort has incresed, low tyre noise on the road, will definitely purchase again in 205/50/16
