Yes! They are installed and all I can say is WOW! I can't believe how these things perform...off the line grip, in the tight turn grip...all around an awesome tire...glad I went this route...would/will def recommend them to everyone...

 

I researched many tires out there before I decided on the Toyo T1-S. The Goodyear F1 tires were among the best, but many Corvette Z06 owners complained of the tires wearing too quickly. It was probably just they way they drove, but o well. I have 8,000 mileso on the Toyo's and they still look decent. But I can't stand how soft the sidewall is. After driving aggressively in some corners recently, I am not happy with the tires at all. The F1's are definitely my next set of tires, unless something better comes along.

Thanks for the review, Randy.

 

how much did you end up spending on them?

 

I am thinking of these tires when my current Yokohama AVS ES100s wear out. So far, I have about 21000 miles on the tires and they look like they still have about 40% tread life left! I had them on my 03 Maxima for 15000 miles and they spent the last 6K on my X. I am very impressed with the wear I am getting. My only issue is that, it seems as they wear, they get pretty noisy.

 

I'll give a beter review after the 28th. I'm road racing the car again and I will be doing so on these tires (don't have a dedicated set of road racing wheels and tires yet)...we'll see.

 

it was like $1100 shipped from tire rack.

 

thanks,
can we see some pic on the car?
on the rims?

 

I'll see if I can get a pic today.

 

subscribing. thanks for the review randy

 

these tires were excellent on the track...they provided great feedback and allowed me to go into the turns deeper and later. Not that I would rec using tires like these on the track (cuz they're so expensive) but I couldn't get a track set of wheels b4 the event. I'm very happy.

 

Here you go. Sorry for the late reply.

 

randy- you got a good camber setting from looking at your tires. almost looks identical to how my tires are contacting.

here's a pict of my other car running GS-D3's.

 

The only negative about the GS-D3's are that they have a fairly soft sidewall. I have used those tires along with Pirelli P zeros, Pilot sports, and the new PS2's. The PS2's are definitely the best tire of the group. Yes, they are the most expensive, but to me they are worth every dollar. The GS-D3's get a second place nod from me though. They are more comfortable than the michelins, but they do give up some grip and steering feel compared to the ps2's. I'm on my second set of ps2's currently. I used the GS-D3's right before this second set.

They are great tires though. You'll love them.

 

not a negative on a Cooper-S where the steering is super nimble to
obtain better straightline stability on street. You just need to know
when you apply and don't apply softer sidewall tires for your application.

I personally use S03's on my G35C.

 

^ True. It does vary depending on the application. On the G35 coupe, the stiffer sidewalls are a benefit though from my experience. I'm assuming you feel the same way since you have SO3's on your coupe. Those have some pretty stiff sidewalls as well.
