Okay, i got new shoes for my baby now i need your guys help on tire selection. Toyo T1R or Nitto NT555 or any other better brand, and money isn't an issue for really good tires. Also what are some good, and bad things about the toyo, and nittos. Looking for tires in 235/35-20frt 275/30-20rr or 245/35-20frt 275/30-20rr, also which is a better setup choice?


Thanks guys.

Hey bro, what's the tread life on those T1Rs, and how would you rate those T1R from 1 to 10.

I just bought brand new BFGoodrich Gforce Sports and they have a great ride and are VERY quiet.

If available in your size you might want to consider them. Reviews on tire rack were all very good so I tried them. The wheel shop that fixed my wheels raved about them too.

Thanks, i too have heard good things about those BF tires.

i would definitely get the t1r. they are newer than the t1s, and t1s are awesome tires

Definately get the T1R. Great tire even though I have only had them 3 weeks. I had 3 sets of the T1S and the T1R are superior in every aspect.

How much did those set you back? Front and back? (245 and 275)

hameed , i have in the rears 285/30/19 but i bought from a great guy out in cali its tiredlr.com and ask for jon. i paid 1025 shipped for them . i bought for me , wayne and another turbo sc owner clive .. i have very very pleased thus far with the initial perf . turn in is very crisp , ride is smooth and man are they quiet.. the design of the tread is very different from anything i have seen before. they have very small/short outer and inner tread blocks on the shoulders and right next to each is this solid strip of rubber , its designed for lowered cars so that when you have neg camber instead of actually riding on the tread blocks you are riding on this strip of rubber


i am still scrubbing the tires in , their is a fair amount of treadblock squirm going on at very high speeds but within the next 2 weeks they should start to reveal their true performance

Thanks for the info Ed!

I wonder how this compares to the new Michelin Pilot Sport 2?
