Default Toyo T1S Tires: First Impressions

Finally got new tires to replace the Bridgestone OEMs on my 225QC.

First impressions:
1. The Toyos are whisper quiet. Or is it that bald Bridgestone tires make alot of noise?
2. The Toyos are great looking tires.
3. The Toyos feel different on hard turns than the Bridgestones(no surprise there)and they make a stange "whooshing" noise on turns(big surprise there). Interesting.......

The dealer advised me not to let the inflation pressure run low on the Toyos because they will chatter and run poorly. Anyone out there have experience with this tire? What pressure do you recommend?

Enjoy

Default I have them also, like them a lot!

I run higher pressures, I feel that the trade off of ride quality vs. performance / mileage is worth it. I have been really happy with them.
