im in the market for some performance all season tires and a buddy of mine works at les shwab and said he gets them for 10$ more then what the store pays for them and he quits in 2weeks im just wondering if the toyo t1r would be a good tire to pick up cheap while i can. my wheels are oem 15 96spec itrs what tire size should i go with 195/50/ ? I dont know anything about tires so if I could get a little help before he quites that would be great. thanks.

 

car is a 96civic that is dd in all kinds of weather and weekend track thank you

 

Ive got 195/50/15 t1r's - i like them, not been on track with them yet but for the road i think they're good

 

how do they do when its wet?

 

Never had any problems, i dont drive hard in the wet at all though They're fine on a motorway at 70+ in the wet though

The proper 15" tire size for a '96 Civic hatchback is 195/50-15.

The Toyo T1-R is a summer tire, and is not designed for use in snow or extreme cold the way all-season tires are.

 

goodyear eagle f1 are better

Goodyear makes a lot of different tires with the Eagle F1 name on them.

And no tire is "better" in every way; some offer better performance on dry pavement, some better in rain, some cost less, some last longer, etc. (The Goodyear F1 GS-D3, for example, has better performance on dry pavement and in rain than the T1-R, but costs more. I would get the F1 GS-D3 over the T1-R, but that's because I'm willing to spend more for better performing tires; not everyone is.)

They are also way more expensive.

 

T1R's are great tires... They provide good grip and handle excellent in the rain based on my experience. To this day I would prefer to rock T1R's over any of the tires that I've owned thats still currently in the market

 

i was on t1r's

 

ive heard great things about the T1R's but i would suggest the BFG KDW NT... i have and i love them... 2nd set!

 

only reason o was looking at the t1rs was cause i had a friend that could get them for cheaper... however i want to use eagle f1 all season but the smallest size they come in is 16s so i guess im getting some new shoes as well and handing down my itr 4lug swap 2 my gfs new honda she just picked up (well not new but 92coupe) Now the question is what shoes to get hmm...... looking between work emotion crki, wedsport sa-90, sparco ns3, gramlight 57max or optimize. hmmmm
