I looked online and the 4's are all season, so scratch that idea. The Ts-1 are high performance summer tires, but NOT MAX performance...

So confused. I just want the best summer max perf. tire installed this weekend.

Default A lot of us have the T1-S. It looks great, it's really quiet, and it handles well.

My tread life isn't as great as I was hoping. People on here have gotten over 20k on them, I'm starting to lose my edges at 8k post install.


Try the KDW's or whatever they're called. I got a really good deal on the T1-S's, and you should be able to as well...so consider that a factor.

Search tirerack.com. If money is no object Michellin PS2's are the best.

Default The T1-S is an exceptional tire for the price

If $$$ is no factor, there is nothing better than the Michelin Pilot Sport2.

Both are great tires, T1S for max performance, plus it's quieter than the contis

Default Thanks for the feedback everyone. Looks like it's either T1-S or the PS2s. Since STS don;t carry

them, I'll have to find an install place that can get them.

Default The T1S is about to be replaced by the T1R...

If you are at all concerned about finding a single replacement tire that matches, wait for the newer tire to come out (June) or get something else.

And BTW, check out the toyo pricing on Edgeracing.com. Much better than your local STS.

Default Ditto. Just put a new set on. Had them last year too. T1R won't be avail. in US until EOY.

Edgeracing.com has best price.

Default Toyo was on this forum in the last two weeks, and I believe

June is the date they floated.
