Well have you looked into the pricing for each tire? The toyo t1-r's are quite higher then the hankook v12's. I have a bunch of G35 friends that swear by the toyo t1-r's. I guess it all depends on what you need the tires for, tracking of just daily driving.

I just put a set of V12's on my GS430 ( 305/25/20 and 255/30/20 ) and all I can say is that I'm very pleased - the tires are smooth and quiet, they also allowed near perfect balancing. The V12's replaced a set of Michelin PS2's and I will not be going back to the Michelins!

I've had both tires, the T1-R were absolutely awesome in dry conditions but terrible in the rain and wore a lot faster. I currently have a set of the Ventus that need to be replaced but I got 45,000 miles out of them, 245/40/20, better in wet conditions than the T1-R. For the money I would go with the Ventus.
I want to replace my current Ventus with the Continental Extreme Contact DWS for better wet traction, I do live in Washington.

Scruffdogg,
How many miles did you get out of the T1-R. I just got them on my wifes RX and love them.
