Yep, I love the T1R's compared to the Michelin PS2's in straight line performance. I have a set of hancook ventus v12's or something like that sitting in my garage, for when i rip these t1r's. Damn, so not good tires huh?

They are not horrible tires, but horrible tires for my application. I am putting out around 550 at the wheels and they don't hook anywhere as good as the T1r's. Also my car pulls into other lanes under heavy acceleration, which under further research on the forums other people had the same issues with these tires. Good luck

I have had mine for quite some time now in 19" with absolutely no issues. My tires are 285/30 and 255/35 or something like that. As far as the offsets are concerned, you tell them the year and model of your car and they take care of that for you. Hope this helps

Yes 550 hp is what I was talking about and that's at a minimum, will know the actual numbers on the 13th when I get it re-tuned.
