E55
Toyo Proxes T1R
Does anyone have any experience with these tires? Just ordered a pair and am wondered whether or not I made the right choice. (Don't want to go with PS2's as everbody has them)

'03 G500, '13 G63, '17 GLS63,
Well, I had T1S on my last car and loved them. Everyone I know who has the T-1R says they are even better than the T1S. I still wouldnt rule out the PS2's. Great tire for a daily driver. I wouldnt rule a good product out just because "everyone has them".
However, you mentioned you ordered a pair, implying your set will not match. If this is the case, you're not going to realize the full effect/benefit of having switched tire brands.

I have them mounted on our GS. Love em. I had the T1-S on my car a while back and was a great tire. The T1-R is a really good tire also.

I run the t1r's now and love'em. I like the Nitto 555 a little bit better.

the T1R's produce significantly less noise than the T1S tires....you guys won't be disappointed.
