Toyo T1R

Its a shame their R1r doesnt come in our sizes. I have been extremely happy with them in the past.

They ship today so time will tell how they compare to my INVOs.

T1R’s are a great value and are great in the rain. However, they have noticeably softer sidewalls than the RE050A’s. When I swapped a set of RE050A’s with a set of T1R’s on my old G35 they felt downright dangerous.

Some of it may have been attributable to the mold release compound but they felt that way for a while. Eventually (after about 1500 miles), either I got used to them or they scrubbed in enough to feel comfortable.

Let me know what your impressions are. Also, they look damn good IMHO.

This tire has a wide array of differing opinions so I will let you know what I think.
