Question Tire help... Toyo Proxes T1R compared to stock Turanza

My left rear wheel had a nail in it that damaged the sidewall and the quickest option I have are the Toyo T1R's. Any owners have any feedback on how they perform compared to my stock Turanza's... tread life, noise, performance?

Thanks in advance for feedback and suggestions!

I think that's the best approach... like what you like instead of somebody telling you that something is not good even though you've had no complaints. I've read that people on this board have had decent experiences with the T1R, but that it can get loud quickly towards the middle of its life to the end. But it is a good value for a high performing tire.

T1Rs are awesome, they will be my next set of tires depending on my next set of wheels.

There are better options than both, but if its the only thing you have available, then, you might have to go that direction... your car is not AWD, correct? If so, you can't mix/match anyways...
