GA Just changed my tires to Toyo T1-Rs...Awesome!!

Just changed the tires to Toyo T1-Rs from OE Dunlops and boy these are just awesome!!

They grip like no other tires I have driven. I am sure after I break them in a little more they will get better.

Paid $900 OTD here in GA

He also had a decent price on some NITTO 555 and 850. But I went with these instead.

Comments!!!

yeah they are awesome...I went from no grip in 3rd and even sometimes in 4th to full grip in 4th and moderate wheelspin in 3rd...now it feels like I am going somewhere...even as it spins...

I have 275-35-19 in the rear, what size are you using?

Chris

p.s.if you are wondering how I can have loss of traction in 4th...read my signature ...

900 bucks for some 245's? Jeeze I got my 275 Azenis for 50 less, and they grip much better.

You should of gotten some NT05's, or Star Specs, for cheaper.

Honestly this wasn't a planned buy since my previous tires decided to develop lumps all of a sudden. So this was the best price I could get from a B&M store. But yes u are right I could have gotten this cheaper had this been a planned buy.
