Toyo T1R tires

Pele96 · 07-30-2007, 04:37 PM

Just wanted to know how many people have had these tires and liked them and how many didn't like them.

JOSG328I · 07-30-2007, 04:56 PM

I like them, very little road noise and high quality as well as the tread pattern looks aggressive.

Only thing I have heard that the road noise can get louder as the miles get packed on around like 20,000 or so.

I didn't like them on my S2000.

Grip wasn't nearly the same, noise was loud, tires didn't last long. I actually preferred the Kumho Ecsta MXs as a budget tire.

had them twice...before that I had the T1S tires. They are ok...but if you read that C&D article about them...they ranked 8th out of 10 tire tested. I am going with Pilot Sport 2s next.

Eh. Have had 2 sets of them. They are.. ok. They have decent dry/wet grip. Sidewalls are too soft. life is ok.. 12k miles on each set for me. Decent steady state cornering grip. Overall, not to impressed.

My buying points: cheap. Atleast $90/tire less versus same sized michelins or bridgestones.
Also, have race tires for any other occasion that would involve performance driving.

My next set of street tires will be goodyears, most likely on the e92 since the 350z is going out the door soon.

For a good performer look no further than falken rt 615 or hankooks z212

I heard that they get better when they get broken.

pretty good tires.... not worth the money...

I have done some research on the web as well as asked some more people and what I got back is this. About 80-85% say they love the tire. The ones that did not like it that much was because the tire was not good for the track although some have used it and liked it.
