Default NE1 try Toyo T1R ?

very good dry and wet grip, also rides well.
I have used these on other cars;
not the best compared with extreme grip, but still fairly good.
wondering if anyone has used on a Lexus...
I have LS430.

they are ok....

they are not a very confidence inspiring tire... they definitely feel very greasy...

my only real experience has been in an 03 Cobra (600 rwhp)... Originally, we had Goodyear GS-D3's on it... Loved em... good, predictable traction, broke loose straight line and cornering very predictably... changed to 18" wheels and the Toyo T1-R's, looked as a cheap street driver in 295/35-18 size... Hated em... I thought, sure, new, well, maybe they just need worn in a little before getting some real traction, I had heard so many good things about the T1-S they replaced... Nope... even after 1500+ miles, they still felt greasy, like I was driving on wet pavement all the time... Ok, so, that wasn't going to work... Changed to the BFG KDW, and 10000 % improvement... As on my lexus, they hooked predictably, felt very confident around the turns, and they broke loose well past the T1-R's limits, yet more predictably.... they just drove better...
