These tires have a very high tread wear rating - meaning they are not very sticky. I've tested them on my car - traction was not that great in dry weather, but really good in wet. Overall - Michelin has best in both and quietness and lastability.

I'd recommend Potenza Re-01R if you are high hp and the weight isnt all that big deal. They grip like nothing you have ever seen.

yeah, but they also wont last you over 10,000 miles, even with the occasional spirited daily driving. The RE-01R was made by Bridgestone as a street/drift tire for the import market and for autoX'ing.

But yes, they will grip like no other DOT compliant street tire out there.

Agreed - they are basically drag radials/street slicks...

Good choice. You will be happy with them.

If you get a chance post a closeup picture of the tire on the wheel. I'd like to see how much protection the lip has.

T1Rs are great for the first 50-75% of tread-life but then they goto hell and u'll be sliding all over the road or at least thats what happened to me

Hi,

Did you ever have a chance to post the pics of your Falkens? I would also be interested in seeing how the lip looks.

Thanks,
Marc

Wow....I think the complete opposite!!! This is so subjective based on driving styles and car set up.

I went fron 18" T1-S's to 19" T1-R's.....and thought the T1-R's sucked! The sidewalls felt too soft to me.

But after they were worn about half way down......they started to stick like glue. I bumped the pressure up to 39f & 38r and they feel excellent now.

They seem pretty good in the wet.

That is weird, the general consesus is that the t1-rs got a stiffer sidewalls compared to the t1-s's, but the t1-s's had a better treaddesign and were better in the rain
