Need advice on new tires

Hi guys,
I'm in the market for new tires and need some recommendations. I have the stock 19s on right now. I'm debating between

Michelin Pilot Sport PS2
Toyo T1R

I had the michelins before and they lasted me 33K miles, which was awesome, then i had the bridgestone potenza which parely lasted 20K. The Toyos were recommended to me by someone who owns a Z and was extremelly happy with them and his lasted over 30K as well.

Also if you have any other recommendations please list them here as well as sites that sell them.

Thank you

Huge difference in price between the two. Many more forum members running Toyo T1R tires due to affordability. I've had excellent experience with Toyo performance and wear.

yep that is one of the reasons why I started considering the toyos ... I have a dealer's account for tirerack so I will get the michelins a bit cheaper so the difference is only about 400 bucks.

I've never heard of Toyos before and major tire stores dont even sell them around here so that is why i'm so unsure of what to do.

If you are even thinking about and can afford the michelins, get them. No comparison there except for price

better wet/dry traction, stiffer, probably better wear etc.
