I need 1 tire - only one.
Does anyone have a Toyo T1-S in 245-40-18?
Preferably with ~4k miles on it.
Alternatively, would NE1 want to but three T1-S with ~ 4k miles on them?

Neither.
Odd thing happened at ABCC, First session - third lap going into 7. Right front locked-up in heavy braking (perhaps you recall the skid mark that went straight off into the grass). Strange that ABS didn't seem to come on at all, nor were there any stored DTC's.
The end result was that the right front got flat-spotted (down to the cords). It's completely unusable which is unfortunate as the TS-1's only had 4-5,000 street miles on them. It was their first track event instead of the usual R-comps which were essentially slicks (and it was raining a bit - remember)?
The brakes behaved normally after that, but I do think the whole affair is odd. As a result, I held off going in extra deep the remainder of the weekend which took away one of the few tools I can use in a two-ton car combined with the biggie stoptechs.
Sadly this is an discontinued Toyo model so the chances of finding one orphin grow slimmer each day. I'm not happy about the prospect of having to buy 4 tires when I have three that are virtually new.
