Default Replacement Tires for 3rd Gen GS

Is anyone running Toyo T1R's on their 3rd Gen GS? I'm considering these tires and any opinions of this tire would be helpful, even if used on other models.

i have them in 20" spec for my gs350. love those tires. i don't know what stock tires you have but they would be no match to the t1r. t1r is considered high performance tires, they have very good traction and pretty quiet imho

Thanks for your input. The car came with Yokohama's Advan A10 and can't wait to get them off, way too noisy & sensitive. It like they grab every imperfection in the road and holds on too it, especially under braking. These tires pushed up my time table on ordering wheels.

yeah i even forgot what my stock tires are anymore. the t1r also has very good grip coz' it's high performance, but i definitely don't think they are as loud as my stock tires (whatever it was)

yoko tires tend to have a lot of road noise especially when it starts wearing. it also rides pretty stiff if i remember.

hope other people with t1r can chime in
