Default Which tire would you choose???

Need some advise on tires, between Toyo T1R's and Yokohama's S-Drives. Which would you choose, and why? Thanks

i've had the toyo's and would buy them again. they've proven, imho, good - well (i am no tire pro though) in hot, cold, rain, and high speeds (120+).

sorry, havent tried the yok's...my friends insist trying yok's too.
GL!

What kind of vehicle do you plan on putting these on? What type of driving do you do? What tire do you currently have? What didnt you like about them?

These are just some of the questions that come to mind every time I go out to buy tires. The Toyos are preferred by most I think mainly because they are cheaper but on some vehicles the ride quality is not that great. I would recommend the Yokohama S-drive. I love the tread pattern. Its got excellent wear. It handles real nice in wet and dry weather. It corners real well. With all the extra cuts and grooves in the tread design of this directional tire you can definitely expect a quiet, smoother ride than the Toyo.
