I have the Toyo T1R's and have really liked them so far. I also like the way they look from behind . The pattern is just plain cool . Oh yea, Mikal. Where did you get that chart you posted? Looks like some great information.

I had Nitto555 on my prelude they wore way too fast, I later got Kumho Ecsta MX and Cooper Zeons and they last a lot longer, grip feels the same to me

1010tires.com is having an introductory sale for local residents (ie. me) for the toyo t1-r... but i am worried about the treadwear rating being in the mid 200's... what does this translate into in actual mileage?

around 250, i say you can go for about 15 to 20k with moderate driving?

I have had the nt555 on my 20 inch StaggeredLownharts. I just ordered a new pair after having the current one for 1 1/2 years with a crazy amount of driving. I think they did me right!!
