Toyo T1-R or Goodyear F1 GDS for OEM 19's

i'm getting ready to replace my tires, REO50 are alright but they wear out so quick. I'm looking at the T1-R or F1 GDS, please help me in selection. They both have the same grip, but which one is quieter and will last longer. I want about 25k miles worth of tires, thanks.

And i will have them in the size of, on stock oem's.
245/35/19 Fronts
275/35/19 Rears

You like the BFG's over the Pilot PS2's? I thought the BFG's had a worse treadwear and road noise rating?

I have KDW2's. I doubt they are a better tire than any of the pilots. But the KDW2's are a good value.

Honestly, on the 18s, I'm not sure the 245 KDW2 is totally happy on the 8" oem rim. They were hell to get roadforced balanced, even sent one back for replacement. Turns out they just have to very carefully bead them. But the shop was patient with me and got them done right. Still loud tho.

KUMHO MX all the way, or Pilot Sport 2. Pirelli Rosso is awesome grip, horrible tread life. MX is best i would assume in your case. best tire tho is the PS2

the PS2 are good tires but don't last very long in comparison to the F1 or T1-R. I don't drive this car very hard, i just need long lasting tires that are low in road noise. It's that i hear very good things about the goodyears.

Tire Rack only shows 3 tires in the 19" OEM size.

Bridgestone Potenza RE050A $257 Front, $269 Rear
Michelin Pilot Sport PS2 $303 Front, $300 Rear
Michelin Pilot Sport $287 Front, $258 Rear

I'm going to start hanging out by the on-ramps with a sign:

"WILL WORK FOR TIRES"

The T1-S is a sticky tire and I heard the T1-R addresses the soft sidewall problems of the previous. I don't know anyone who has the T1-R, so you would be the first.
