How are these tires?? and how long do they last??? Anybody have any personal experiences with them???

 

bump i wanna knwo also especially treadlife

 

damn does anyone know TTT

 

come on guys

 

ok one of my friends has them and he says they are AMAZING... i kinda regret grabbing T1S now...... they last long and he said something about how they become better as time goes..... i don't know how this works or if he was talking **** he said as they get used up they become more like slicks i donno, but thats what he said

 

Toyo RA1's are great for road racing.. they last long on the track (compared to other R-compound tires) If you plan to daily drive them, I dont know what to tell you.. I doubt they'll last as long as you're led to believe.

 

ok thats interesting thanks for the info.

 

the RA1's tread wear rating is 40

 

These are not street tires, they are R-compounds. If you want a Toyo street tire, get the T1S.

 

are the T1s good.

Don't know, never used them.

I've used Falken Azenis, Kumho 711, Kumho 712, Bridgestone S-02, Bridgestone S-03, Sumitomo Srixon4, Goodyear Eagle GT2, OEM Shitelins, and various R-compounds. Never used any Toyos.

They are ok. Very good grip, fairly long life and excellent water handling. But they have a relatively soft sidewall. Actually much softer than that of the Azenis or S0-3s. I think that if I had the choice, I'd get azenis...

 

I believe the T1S was the spec tire for SCCA Speed World Challenge Touring cars and for SCCA Spec Miatas this year. Next year they both will be switching to the RA1 R-compound.

Ask in the autocross forum for some opinions on the T1S, there certainly must be a few guys who have used them in there.

 

I use RA-1`s and the T1-S. RA-1`s are excellent on the track, but very streetable. Trust me, I know. T1-s are a little pricey, but an excellent street/track tire in all conditions.
