Need tires ASAP. What looks closest to the Toyo T1R

Hey guys I need new front tires and i was looking to replace the with something a little more affordable up front. So what tires out there look closest to the T1R's from the side. i'm not worried about the tread pattern. I was thinkin Falkens do. Also I need to find the tires and get them installed by friday cuz I'm driving to vegas from socal and don't want to have a tire blow out on me.
T1R's lasted me about 35000 miles cuz I would flip them occasionally

Any good tire places in SoCal near 10/210/605/57 freeways

Using Monard's advice, I bought a set of Toyo Extensa for my fronts and I haven't had any major issues at all.

If it were me I'd be looking at a tire's performance not the way it looks. That said the Hankook Ventus V12s are a fantastic tire for the price.

Why do you want them to look the same?

Cuz I don't want the tires to look wierd different from front to back. Plus I'm not taking the car to the track anytime soon so I don't need "performance" tires on my fat pig of a car. I just don't want the tires to stand out and be an eye soar if they look different.. lol.
Plus I just need them til I get my camber items on to correct my camber.

when i had my stock 19 rays i needed a camber kit too and it messed up my front tires, i orderd a set of 4 they took forever to show up, so i looked around i found a ghetto shop that sold me the exact same brand as my back ones for 100.00 good condition got my camber and was good. if u need temp tires call small shops they mite have what ur looking for. saved me 1,400

I can get you a killer deal on Falken FK452's...I think they are a better tire (I have had both).

PM me for the details.

Vredestein Ultrac Sessanta's are pretty decent for the price. Here's where I got mine from they had the best price even with shipping costs, I think they may be local to you too.
