Harris, are you happy?
Well after driving no more then 2 months on my free Pirelli P7000's, I ordered Toyo T1-S all the way around yesterday. These stupid POS tires have ZERO traction. They were brand new when I got them and they have 2k miles on them now. Needless to say, I know why they discontinued these tires.
Harris gets all the credit. He told me that my first "mod" should be new tires.
Well, happy now Harris?

I have PS with stock wheels on my car right now, they are terrible comparing to the T1-S. The T1-S are MUCH MUCH MUCH better.

Darn! Sorry Harris. I didn't even think to contact you on the tires purchase 
. When it's time for some new HRE's, you know that I'm going through you. After I recover from the Euro COMMAND from Steve in late July, I'm comming to you for the Carbon Fiber Trim.

I've had T1S and I now have PS2.
The PS2 is worlds better in ride comfort...you almost forget the sporty nature of the car when driving normally.
Very firm sidewall, tons of grip, very hard to spin them off the line.
I recommend the PS2; they are worth the pennies. I got them on a special at Tire Rack and won't drive anything else.

The PS2's stick like glue and are very quiet as well.

But how long do they last? The S-02 was an extremely grippy tire, too, but it lasted about 1/3 as long as the T1-S.

I will say that it is not a large margin. The amazing thing is just how much better the ride is on the PS2s..it makes the slightly higher performance from the PS2 THAT much more impressive.
The French cannot fight, but they can make a damn fine tire.

Pony up the extra bucks once and give them a try.
They don't have the cool tread pattern of the T1S, I'll say that...and the sidewall is *really* tacky with all the different fonts and designs.
But when rubber meets road? Damn.
