Goodyear F1 or Toyo T1-R or Pilot AS or ?
I am shopping for tires while I wait for the rims I ordered from DXC for my 05 SC430. My sizes are 245/35/19F and 275/30/19
Not only do I want a good performance tire, but I want a quiet tire that has a good looking profile to go with the shape of the car. I don't mind spending a little more where I am spending this much allready.
This is the priceing i got so far on these models. Which would you go with. Keep in mind these are canadian prices
245/35/19 275/30/19
Michelin pilot AS $474 $561 installed&balanced
Toyo T1-R $408 $520 installed&balanced
Goodyear F1 GSD3 $484 $494 plus $25ea. install &balance
Any opinions would be appreciatted

Don't even think about driving in snow with any high performance summer tire. All three are good but it depends on what your needs are.. For me, I have a summer setup and a winter setup. In winter, I change over to the stock 17's with the Michelin pilot sport AS.

Would that effect your decision?

I just purchased these a week ago. Will not be installing them for another week or two, but will be posting my reviews after they are on. GS300Rich has these on his GS and loves them. The tread design is very nice as well.

i have the toyo t1 r as well , i have had them for about a month now... very quiet tire, awesome traction in wet and very grippy tire on dry in fact its very hard for me to induce lock up with my 4 corner brake upgrade
their is one key point that no one has mentioned with these tires...
they were designed to resist neg camber wera on inner and outer parts of the tire.. they broke up the shoulder treads on inner and outer and ran a thin solid piece of rubber so the tire sits on that and the solely on the tread blocks to eat them away
great tire but be advised , for the first 500 miles or so they will feel abit dicey, the tread blocks squirm like crazy until the get scrubbed after that watch out for the boys in blue

Wow the Toyo's seem to be the tire of choice here.
I was leaning towards the goodyears because of the high scores it got on tire rack's rating. A total of 8.8 the highest overall rating. It has excellent wet and dry grip, and excellent noise levels.
I'll have to re think this.
Now if only I could get a good deal on these in Canada

Unless you need to maximize traction and handling, I like the Pilot AS. Yes they are more $ but the tread rating is great. You get more wear out of them which will offset the cost. I had a set of the original Michelin Pilots and they were great. They wore well and only got a little louder as they wear down. The AS has different properties but from owners' feedbacks, the AS behave similarly.
The Toyos are also nice if you want a great summer tire. The Goodyear has had mixed reviews from owners here on CL.
