My old and almost "racing slicks" Bridgestone GIII's had got to go. They don't grip the road as much because the threads are almost non-existent, the roads here are getting slippery because of occasional rains so the grip on the rain is much worse, i had the tires for the longest time and I guess it is time to say goodbye.
Enter my new Toyo's. I searched through car magazines both local and international for a new set of rubbers and Toyo keep poppin' up. I've used Toyo's before but the T1-s model. Since the stats of the T1-R are good plus it just manages to be in my budget, I got my self 4 (r15/55/195) new rubbers for my ride.
Initial use got me noticing the grip. It's enough for me to handle plus it became more predictable on the road. Cabin noise are reduced compared to my GIII's. I seem to notice that the sidewalls of the Toyo's are quite stiff contrary to what people tell me. Treadware is rated at 280 so these babies will last me a long time even if i take these to track days or the occasional autocross.
Overall this is the best balance for my budget and spirited driving itches.
