Default HELP:!! //Tire Choice

I'm now looking to get tires for my new rims as they are coming very soon. Theres a couple of tires that interests me but unsure which one would be better.

1. Toyo T1R
2. Michelin PS2 (current ones on my 18")
3. Vredestein Ultrac Sessanta

I'm either going to be running a 225 front and 255 rear stretch or a 245 and 285 front rear.

i would go with toyo t1r, but im really contemplating the vredestein, in addition the price and reviews is really making me like the tire more!!!!!! i found a site where the 285 are like $200 and the 245 are like $160 super deal total of $650 as compared to the Toyo's $1150

Well since we don't sell the Vredestein or the Toyo I can't really make a comparison but I do know the Michelin are excellent.

the toyo t1r's arent bad. i read up on these a lot before i bought them. i dont think the t1r's are on the high end of tires for 19's (i have 245 in front and 275 in rear). i launched my 2GS, once, and the tires slipped, it was on dry street. i think they may have slipped due to insufficient air, but i dont know-i'm not a tire expert. however, i will be trying another tire brand after these. but i like to taste test various tires, thats just me.

i'd suggest them, but again, depends on how you drive and weather cond in your area.
