I just got a set of Toyo T1-R's sent to me.
They usually give me 265/30 T1-S, but I wanted to try a wider tire.
These things look uber wide.
I rub a little hard cornering on the 256/30 19
My fenders are not rolled.

OK, how do I sign up to get tires "sent" to me??

Let me get this straight, you are asking if a wider tire will rub, when already have some rubbing with a smaller tire

LOL........I run 275/30/20 tr1's on my S class ! ... I am Very impressed with them...aggressive tread pattern and they stick well...They also have a rounded tract opposed to other brands.. I have to run them because I will rub with others. You will like them and for the money they cannot be beat....

i was thinking about running 270's too. Let me know how it goes..

Vader13

I dont think its gonna work, instead of paying my exspensive touchless tire machine guy, I will go the safe way and send the 275's back. I would probably have to roll the fenders.
On an S Class they should be fine.
I have a set of Falkens too, I put the 265/30 Falk next to the 275/30.
The Toyo looked like a drag tire compaired to the whimpy Falken FK145
I have heard nothing but good things about the T1-R.
The T1-S is good, but kinda noisy.

but I just blast my stereo up!

Yeah man I think you were pushing it w/that size. 265 is perfect on a 10"rear

Actually you can. I used 275 on my C320 couple years ago when I was back home in Indonesia. First I used Michelin Pilot then I changed it to Toyo ( don't remember the type). You have to roll the fender and do a slightly modification on the wheels wells because even you already rolled your fender, 275 would rub the wheels wells (lowered car). If you wanna check it out.

WOw you have a nice *** More pics???

Vader13

Idno VIP style..I drive harder than you guys do..I am going back to 265's
Big difference in powerload on a C32 compaired to a C320.

YABADI

In that case...yeah you should use 265. You have to drive really careful when running 275 in the back.

Kenzmbz : too bad I don't have more pics. That's the last pics I took before I went back to The States and haven't been back to Indonesia since.

shave the bumper if you are rubbing during hard cornering. it's the plastic tab where the bumper meets the fender.

psk145

mine rubs on 265/30 19's both T1S and T1R I see the part where its rubbing, but I figure that sooner or later, the tire will shave it down for me

KRob3

you run 265/30s on the front? Wow, thats a wide tire for the front! I have the same tire for the rear, but only a 235/35 on the front.

Vader13

lol...


Yeah Frank, I am shaving mine during the next swap. Krob3..I can assure you he is not running 265's on the front.

PS Dudes.
I am having SOOOOOOOOOO much fun rocking my rear stockies on the Pilots.
I ran them with around 24psi and did some insane drifts...lol

My 2 rear V1's are being de-curbafied..

FrankW

sounds fun I did that once when I still had the 17s. The tires were bold and I tried it coming off a freeway off-ramp when there was no cars at night.

Vader13

Here is the Drift Machine and one of the new T1-R's

psk145

ghetto

psk145

who me?? No, I meant that the 265's rub both with the old T1S's and the new T1R's. I have the same front as you

vraa

LOL.
A C32 as a drift machine.

Vader13

My C32 is actually Drift Alliance approved.

vraa

Drift Alliance approved?
There is an alliance?

I am scared....


(P.S. Can I get my X5 approved...?)

pigori

i tried it on my w203, lowered on h&r's. My fenders wernt rolled, but I was rubbing on the inside and outside of the wheel well.

Not recommended.

265's will do fine

The Godfather

vader you f@g, get the **** outta here. 275's are for fast cars like E55, non of that small entry model crap

And being sponsored by Michelin 0wnz all. Michelins will make mince meat of your yoyo's :v
