Which one is better?

 

it comes down to preference. imho, i'd go with the Falkens because it has more of what i look for in a tire.

looks
performance
fender clearance

 

I heard the T1Rs have a bigger sidewall compared to other tires.

I'm looking for a tire with a high tread rating and performance.

Anyone had either tire model?

 

toyo for life

 

same here

 

Don't know which ones are better, but I am going to give the Toyo's a try.

 

Wow, thanks for the response guys. No Falken fans here huh?

T1R owners: How many miles have you gone so far and how are they holding up?

 

go with the Falkens and you'll purchase another set just because.

 

are the Falkens supposed to be quieter than T1R's?

 

the fk-452 is getting such great hype though. From what I've read the fk-452 is way quieter which is nice.

Edit, I'm debating on the FK-452 because longer tread life and cheaper if you go with 245/35/19f and 255/55/19 rear, the Toyos in OEM sizes are like 120 bucks more. Speaking of peoples thoughts on size mentioned above on stock rims?

 

IDK about the 255/55 rear, I don't think that would look good. Maybe you mean 255/40 rear.

Anyways, I'm leaning towards the FK-452 - but i'm not making a decision just yet.

 

yes, Falken's are MUCH quietter than Toyo's period.

 

Im just gonna say Toyo just cause i just got some.. im very happy with them.. im not gonna say a lot quieter than stock but they are quieter.. my friend had falkens on his mustang GT and he hated those tires so he got some Potenzas

 

^ your Toyos are still new. wait a few hundred miles. you'll know what i'm talking about. i used to be a tire ***** with Toyo/Falken/Potenzas. Potenzas had awesome performance, but extremely little life.

 

Ok, I don't like Falken for what ever reason and Toyo
tires that I had prior to selling my 300ZX sucked!
The first time I entered an onramp and hit a little
moisture I was almost sideways....once was enough.
I never had to tiptoe around corners with this great
Z-car when I was using GoodYear GTCs, Michelin
Pilot Sports or Bridgstone Potenza Turn Fours
(lasted 10k but I could fly in the rain) I gotta stick
with the Michelins I can trust what works for me.
Ya know trust is just a little important!!
