Hey guys, I've been deciding on the next set of tires for my 01GT. Currently I've got BFG KDW's on it and they're about worn out. I was curious to see if anyone here was running the Toyo T1-R. I really wanted the T1-S, but Toyo says that is discontinued. So, if anyone is running the T1-R, is it a good tire? Noisy Tire? Decent mileage? By decent I mean 25k or more. We're pushing it right now to get 25k out of the G-force tires and I've done one maybe two burnouts with them. I'm down between those and the Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3, and I can't compare them on Tire Rack because Tire Rack doesn't sell Toyo's. Any feedback you guys can give me would be much appreciated.

Dont know about the t1-r's, but Ive thought about running their RA-1's on the rear wheels of my car. Ive read that they are sticky, but u can drive in the rain as well. Its a toss up between the ra-1's and nitto dr's for my car as I have about 1k miles left on my rear tires.

I run the T1-r's on mine.

I love them.

I have 285's on the back. They look great too.

Will, do you have 285's on your stock wheels? I know this is a dumb question, but my wife drives the car more than I do...but how is the road noise on them? The G-force tires hold pretty good, but they're pretty noisy. I'm trying to find a tire that holds just as good or better but you can still hear the radio over.

Here's some good info for you. Keep in mind, all of these tires are much better than the stock Gatorbacks.

I run the 285's on 10 1/2 inch wide rims, so I'm probably not much help at all.


As far as noise with my setup, I don't notice the tires being all that loud. I'd go as fair to say that I notice no difference from stock on noise. Though the exhaust leaves little room for other things.. heh


They are sticky, a great tire I think. Nice tread pattern to, and solid in the rain.

I have them and they rock. They were the most quiet tires I ever had and the most comfortable in terms of ride quality. Far more quiet than my Kumho's, Goodyears, Goodrich, and Firestones. I also ran them at 170mph on the road and 200mph on the dyno and there wasn't an iota of vibration. I also went around corners at 150-160 miles per hour and they stuck like glue. I don't know about mileage yet but these are the best tires I have ever had.
