Default Need new tires, T1-S or S-03?

Hi,

I need advice. I have narrowed it down to the Toyo T1-S and Bridgestone S-03 and wanted to hear your comparisons in the following areas:

Price
Thread life
Road Noise
Performance wet
Performance dry

They will be going on the stock 17" wheels, probably in a 245-45-17. How many miles do they generally last with regular rotations and no track events?

Thanks,

almost all the factors listed above are too close to call which is better...price/sizes will vary from one region to another...but, the toyos do have higher thread wear rating, and most likely they will last longer...then again, sometimes it is an unfair comparo between diff brands on the utqg treadwear rating...thsoe #s are based within the same brands, but different models...

if i were to pick one based on the factors listed, i would say the T-1s for its higher tread #s..

Check with www.tirerack.com, they have complete info. about the tires, including the rating and feed back from customer.

As I know, most of the people like S-03 more.

Good luck.
