Default FINALLY, my Toyo T1-R's on my refurbished MR5's.....

I've been waiting for my size to come in and I just went and mounted them today. I have ran the T1's and the Proxes 4's, but this tire is truly incredible. SO smooth riding and extremely quiet. The T1-s's were an awesome tire, but were really loud. These fellas right here are AMAZING, they totally out perform the rest of the car

A few pics....





I LOVE the 215-45-15 size, they have a ton of grip, yet they are the same height as a 195-50-15, just allot wider. Hope you like

the only thing i dont like about those tires are the fact that the sidewalls are kind of flimsy compared to say a yokohama evs100, or a bridgestone potenza 750.

but the grip of these tires are almost up there with the potenza so3's

but lets see the whole damn car

What's the drop on your car? I'm considering doing the same exact tire on my Integra, but don't know if its gonna rub. Do you when you corner hard?

I have around 3.5" in the front lowered, maybe a little less. They don't rub at all, I push the hell outta the car and it never rubs, awesome tires!

So, did you purchase these online or a local tire shop? My local tire shop don't carry Toyo's anymore

215's sound like the side walls would be oozing out but it looks proper on those wheels. how wide are the wheels? thanks

Yup, the sidewalls for the ES100's aren't the stiffest. I'll be getting the T1-R's soon so I'll let you know which sidewalls are stiffer.
