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?

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?

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.

^ 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.

What happens if you don't like either................?
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!!
