try searching or posting your question here: https://g35driver.com/forums/wheels-tires-25/

This feedback area (that you are posting in) is for suggestions and feedback about the website itself.

FWIW - I have T1R and love 'em!

every tire slips...

What exactly are you looking for in a tire? What are your priorities?

Noise?
Steering Response?
Dry grip?
Wet Grip?
Tire life?

T1R's will be fine for you then. They don't have the most grip in the world but they have a very soft sidewall and last a pretty long time.

your driving will have more to do with the longevity of the tire, than the tire itself, my recommendations: more doughnuts.

Compared to OEM Bridgestone’s and Kumho Ecsta I replaced OEMs with, the T1Rs are VERY grippy!!!

Excellent traction, slightly noisy (but that could be because I went from 17" to 19") - I wouldn’t expect the tread to last long - most people I know with T1R don’t have long tread life.

I’ll know better how well they grip at the next drag event… every tire I’ve run previous has spun quite a bit… based on spirited street driving, I expect these to do much better.

They are good tires for DD. And mediocre when it comes to performance tires.

If performance was your priority, I would recommend other tires. But they are great for what you're looking for.

How bout Vredestein Sessanta

Much cheaper then Toyos and I like them much better over Toyos.

only down side is that they are a bitch to detail compared to Toyos and tread is not symmetrical, so you can't flip them.



Here is a little info
