hey does anyyyone have these Toyo's. And if u do can you tell me how they perform. Cause im thinkin of gettin a set.

 

they're great for street, but for track....



yshi - who blames it on the tyres but it's most likely the driver

 

Yoshi -- just the rear Mugen Bar?

Don't feel bad, I spun (only once) on like lap 3 of the first expo at BW!

 

yea street they are good but i dont think they will hold up for track usevery well....they are kinda sloppy

 

Ah, ya know...Im just not that impressed with mine handling wise. They do not have the gokart type response the RE010s did. I keep the pressure 37-38ish usually or they are just too sloppy and really get on my nerves. I will say they are kickass in rain though, are quiet, and ride smoothly. Also, I have about 10k in them and they still look good for at least another 10-15k. I hope they dont last that long though

In the picture that goes before that one it looked like your tire hit dirt, at that point it doesnt matter, any performance summer tire would have done the same thing, snap oversteer. You need rally spec tires to fix that T1-S is good for touge, and im sure its good for track

 

Everyone I have talked to says the T1-S are a good daily driver tire, but suck for just about anything else. The only people I have heard say good things about them are people that are toyo dealers.

And I am sure someone is going to say that is what they use for the Speed Touring Car Championship....but it doesn't matter. Those tires are shaved, which makes them a little better, and mainly becuase they are a series sponsor and nobody can run anything else but that tire. I also heard that the compound was somewhat different (can take more heat) then what you can by on the street but I have yet to confirm that. But that was from someone who did a few races in the series last year and has a couple of sets.

 

Damn, Yoshi any damage on 234?

 

plus their entire suspension is tuned around these tires, which I doubt anybody on the street can say they do.. regardless these are great street tires.. needs some stiffer sidewalls but great in the rain..but my next tire will most likely be the stickier and cheaper azenis..

 

has anyone both the t1-s and the s-o3s?

if so, how does the 2 compare?

 

how about t1-s vs. re730 vs. kuhmo mx? how do these compare?

 

All I know is that I went from Azenis to the T1-S . The Toyo's are decent...nothing in comparison to the Azenis though....but I got them for wet weather performance where the Toyo is and the Azenis are .

 

toyo doesn't have much of a sidewall.
i assume that since the 205/50/15 size is like 5lbs lighter than the azenis
in the same size.

 

the yokohama a520 have ALOT stiffer sidewall. I filled the a520 to 32psi and it rides pretty firm on the street. The same 32psi on the toyo's made the car fill underinflated, but it sure was more cushy w/ my firm sus

yshi -who'd like to try some Kumho MX

 

In the rain Toyo T1S are great

I cannot say anything about them for dry weather

 

I bet dubs are lighter then Azenis.

 

i have a set of T1S they don't have sidewall so i don't really like this tires..
if i ever get another chance to replace tires i will go for Azenis !!

 

these things only come in 17-20"?!?! (from tirerack) Anybody else carry this tire.. if not maybe the yok es100==good?!?!

 

How's the A520 and T1-S compare? Those seem to be the only two decent tires in 195/55-15 besides the insanely priced RE010 which I miss dearly.

 

had these on stock 15x6 wheels, 195-55-15... worst tire ever... very soft sidewalls..

 

I have to say that the RE010 is the only tire that I have had which is comparable to the Azenis...and they were much better in the rain than the Azenis are....too bad they are sooo expensive. $$$$$

JN who can't wait until the summer starts again so I can go back to the Azenis...

 

I thought the same thing for the first 1000 miles. Then, they got much better. I usually run them 40F/38R, and that does the trick. I would imagine they would be much better with a shorter sidewall on a larger wheel.
