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

Ok i just talked to my friend and he said that tires are not directional that means u can switch them around with the rim attached to it. But as far as the outside and inside part goes the tire's outside part has to be outside. That means if u have camber wear inside of the tire there is no way to get around that by switching them side to side because if u even do, the outside part of the tire is still going to be outside and the camber wear is still going to remain the same.

anyway...
Anymore T1R reviews?... I have 3 days to go with another tire... actually it might be too late - the vendor has them at the shop waiting to be mounted...
For those with T1Rs... My main concern is the reports of soft sidewall... I'm going 40 series as it is - a soft 40 is going to **** me off! So how bad is it?...

EDIT: i forgot to say you will have less sidewall flex.

So I'm relatively set on 40 series... that profile is fine IMO... a decent tire with reasonable sidewall stiffness will be fine in the size I intend to run.
But again, I'm now concerned about the T1Rs... but changing the size to compensate for weak sidewalls is not in my plan.
