well i have never owned the t1-s so i can't say for sure, but my friend (which i can actually trust) knows at least 5 to 6 people with the t1-s on a variety of cars and they have nothing but good stuff to talk about the t1-s. good wear, tons of grip, good price, etc... that's why i wanna try them next.

personally i wouldn't really start to suspect on something with only 1 incident. if it's like the so3 where i heard and SAW 4 to 5 cases within a short period of time, that's when i start to worry

Default toyo

the t1s is an awesome tire, i have them personally and will never change unless (praying not) they stop making them, i sale rims and tires, along with other accessories at my job, and sale alot of nitto nt555 as well, they also are good tires, some may not know but nitto and toyo are the same company, if u want a good economical tire check into the proxes 4 toyo tire, it is good with a 300 treadwear and is priced pretty low for a tire of its caliber

any other questions i can answer for you , shoot me a pm,


later,
mike
