Pics of Ms. 55......

Clear side markers and flat emblem are on the way.

I wanna ask you guys, my wheels seem to be making noise at low speeds now that i've got 19's on, i was expecting it to be maybe a little noisier but not that much.. I am sure that there is no rubbing nor anything like that. When i go above 30 mph it doesn't make much noise. Do you guys have any idea what it might be?
Thanx
JM

car looks great.

the noise you are hearing is simply the tire noise. The Toyo T1-S was known to produce a very noisy ride. If you want a quieter tire go with the PS2 or Eagle F1 GS-D3.

it looks great!

another 235/35/19 and 265/30/19 T1-S user... the tires are ****ING LOUD! I HATE THEM! It's so hard to talk on a mobile phone while driving b/c of those loud *** tires...

I'm going with the Eagles when I need to replace them...

On the other hand, The T1-Rs aren't that bad at all (mine have lasted quite a while as well...)

but the T1-R also doesn't perform that well compare to other performance tires.

Thanx for the compliments guys. Most of my friends here told me that the T1-S are loud a$$ tires, i guess i'm gonna be going with the PS2s i was supposed to buy a set but these tires came with the rims so i thought why not try them out..

Yeah hell, I want my next set to be PS2s as well - just can't beat the price/tire for the T1-R (the rounded walls are a plus for drops).

I just got the T1-R's and have been extremely pleased with them...especially going from 18's to 19's I really think the ride hasn't diminished (and actually I think may have improved slightly!) Overall I am very impressed.

I'm still debating on whether is should get the Michellin PS2 or the Toyo T1-R. I know the PS2's are better but they cost more and i heard the T1-R are also pretty good too.
I dont know, but i'm definitly not staying with the T1-S these wheels are so damn loud!!!!

If you are looking at something very close to the PS2 in performance at cheaper price than go with the Eagle F1 GS-D3. The T1-R can't touch it.

I just put PS2s on my car when I did the wheels. I could not beleive how quiet they are compared to what I had before.
