Toy Proxes TR1 vs Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3

Which tire is better? I live in Houston which gets TONS of torrential rain. Also, I am going TT w/ low boost on stock internals, so I will be running around 360 rwhp.

After extensive research I decided on the Goodyears, but I am limited to a 275 (35-40/19) on the back. I would rather go 285, and the Toyo's fit.

I also considered the Yokohama Advan Neova and Mich. PS2's but they also have size limits (and are pricey).

The Toyo's are also priced a little less.

Thanks

The GS-D3s were great in the rain for me.

T1R is probably a better bang for the buck tire.

However, I heard the F1 GSD3 are simply awesome in the rain from 2 or 3 people I know who have ran 'em

I have the T1R's and have to agree w/ escobar. They work great in Florida rain. But, Car & Driver did rank the Goodyears #1, but that was before the T1R's came out.

I read another study that had the GS-D3's number 1. Tirerack has them 3, but #1 for the rain.
