Toyo T1R FTL
how many of you have actually run the re050's in the same size as you are running the t1r's? I think alot of you would change your tune if you compared them on a similar basis
Jello? I had bridgestones and they sucked *****. Talk about jello. The toyos are hard as a rock, which sucks for road noise, but they outperform the bridgestones no questions asked.
I am running Front 245/35/19 and Rear 285/30/19
Front tires haven't been rotated yet and have 23,000 miles on them and are still completely brand new. No camber wear at all and im lowered.
Rear tires have 23,000 miles on them and i rotated them after 14,000 miles and they still have about another 5,000 miles left on them. Very little camber wear.
So far other than the road noise, the toyo tires performance and tred wear have been perfect.

A friend of mine had those and Toyos before on his GTI and GTO, he told me the performance of the Toyos are better.

I cannot afford tires every six months.

Everybody calm down.
For starters, I was running the exact same size in the Bridgestone’s. However, my rears were run flats. I literally could drive with 0 psi in the tires and the sidewalls would not flex. Even the non-run flat’s have a very stiff sidewall. The construction of the Toyo sidewall and the Bridgestone are vastly different.
Everyone hates the RE050A’s because they are “hard as rocks.”
Maybe, just maybe, the reason I don’t like the Toyo’s is that I prefer a tire with a stiffer sidewall.
I’m sure that I will get used to the Toyo’s. But believe me, the sensation around corners is a little unsettling.

) ... they should start feeling like rails... they are not as good as pole positions or advans... but for the price i feel they are VERY hard to beat
LOL @ replacing tires... stock tires = 10K miles backs are at 0 and fronts at about 10-20%...
on to 4 t1Rs and 22K miles - fronts have NO inside tread left... lmao replace fronts....
And of course... new rims = 4 new tires.... all w/ in 26K
