Mounted the Toyo T1-R's

I gotta say I found a fav new tire.
For those of you T1-S fans.
This tire is less noisy, softer, deeper tread, better curb guard grips way better and a little cheaper than the T1-S.
They happen to look great too and don't streach at all with these sizes.
I am running. 265/30 19 and 235/35 19

Frank, you I am a Team Toyo guy (freebies)..I dunno..but when I sold those extra ones they sent I looked it up and noticed they were a bit cheaper. I forgot allready. You're the new tuning guy with the wheel shop..c'mon you gotta know these things.

and Ricky.
The first thing I did was do a massive drift right out of the tire shop on Beach BLVD in OC.. Thats when I started to smile.

That makes me happy.
My current tires are bald, and since I rotated them just recently I maybe have a hundred or so miles left on them. That means I'll be shopping for some new 22" tires (hopefully) and seeing that you like Toyo's, they'll be a good option.

I love my T1-s, for some reason it has higher load rating compare to other brand with the same size, anyone know why?? Might get T1-R after i wore out current tyres.

I love the TR1 !

TOYOS rock and they are less then the NITTO'S !! which I also like alot and by the the way TOYO and NITTO are the same manufacturer. The TOYO TR1 is a brand new very aggressive tread design and has a more rounded track better suited for bigger meats on dropped rides for less rubbing issuses,It is a *** great tire ! Best by far for the $

I have raved about this tire in other posts.... search> toyo tr1
