I had the toyo t1r on my C32, and they were loud. I'll check on pricing. Right now, Id rather spend as little as possible without buying some no name brand.
here's a pic of the tire.

I'm going to try Vredestein for my next set - Vredestein Ultrac sessanta. $1000 for a set of 20" tires, mounted and balanced. They've received good reviews overseas.

There's pretty good clearance between the bolt and tire if I remember right.
Would the tire last 17K miles from hitting the bolt??
and wouldnt it leave a groove? The other tire shows the metal as well in spots, but its a pretty even wear around that shoulder

HAHAH!! Charles was FLYING down the 5 by SeaWorld when this whitre pacifica came in and challenged him.........looks like he paid the price!!
On a serious note, you guys may want to consider literally rotating the tires on the rims. I mean take the front driver tire and install it on the passenger side. this will end up using both sides. On a real note, this shows that you have a smaller contact patch on the ground than ideal.

Man I must have missed you guys I was at SW myself with family and left late as well on Hwy 5. SD area looks like a nice place to live from what I could tell. I was staying off Hwy 8 in Hotel row.

Man it sure looks like something is rubbing on that tire. I guess you know the bolt I am talking about. (top pic)
I would pull that tire and see if the bolt is polished and shiny.

I was a bit nervous about the bolt when I mounted them on. It was close, but not touching. Unless it moves while the car is in motion, but I was told that if it didnt touch while suspended (mounting), it wouldnt touch while driving.
I just checked my rears, and they have the same wear pattern with the cord showing in some spots. So I hope its just toe, since there's no bolt in the back.
Is the toe adjusted in the rears as well when doing an alignment?

SD is pretty nice. I wouldnt mind living there! We usually hang at sea world for a bit, and go to old town for some mexican food before heading home.

Homey, a simple alignment won't fix your crap. you need the solo arms.

His arms are for the rear only right? I actually got pretty good wear in the rear. Im down to the cord on the inside rear, but its also down to the wear bar. Its the fronts that are only worn on the sides, while the rest has excellent tread still

i replaced two rears last week on mine that looked identical to yours. i only had 6k on the bridgestones.i play around wih my elm a bit but had my indy shop align it at the lowest setting without rubbing this time. funnny thing was i never had checked for inside wear before.
