I need one new toyo T1-S (275/35/19).

If anybody knows of a place online to purchase from, that would be great!

thanks

 

I think I bought my T1 Rs from edge racing. Do not recall web addy.

 

www.edgeracing.com,
but if you go to toyo's website you can locate a dealer. i found a place that was cheaper to get them locally than to have them sent to me. Also, i would read about the t1-rs which are supposed to be better than the t1-s at pretty much the same price. I got stuck with frickin Nitto's becuase i had to drive and couldnt wait the couple of days for someone to get toyos in

 

I sell TOYO, but the T1S isn't made anymore, its only the T1R now. Let me know if you need any tires!

 

Don't forget Adam @ Z1Auto on these boards. Edgeracing.com has really good pricing, but Adam matched it and the turnaround time was quick for my T1-S's.

 

Also check www.onlinetire.com and www.tiredlr.com

 

Thanks for the help guys!

I have the T1-S all around right now, and only have to replace one tire. The T1-R is def. better, but can't change just the one tire to that....have to stick with the T1-S for now.

 

Yo, fellow Toyo owners, how do the Toyos T1 Ss grip on wet pavement?

Just added Toyo T1Rs awhile back but they have not seen any wet pavement yet.

 

I don't know the rating's on the Toyo's for wet/dry conditions, but I would definitely not recommend these tires in wet conditions. You get a lot of tire slip.

 

I have them on my 240, and I'm putting down more power than most Z's, and I live in Florida, and I haven't gotten that much slip. No more or less than I would get from a Michelin, or Pirelli that I paid twice as much for!

 

I think the T1-S is a damn good tire and way better than those stock potenza's by far. It drives great in the rain and I'm able to do anywhere from 80-90mph in the rain of course on the highway. I'm always passing other cars when they are struggling to maintain the highway speed limit 70mph because their tires are on the verge of hydroplaning. For as like in the city driving and hitting a puddle of water or let stream that runs across the road. It will lose traction for a split half a sec but regains quite quickly. Any tire will lose traction hitting a large amount of water that has some type of depth to a degree and not just water laying on the pavement. I plan on staying with toyo because the price is good and I will get some T1-R's when I burn these T1-S's up.

 

I still love my Toyo's and would recommend them, but I just don't trust them in the rain for some reason. I've lost control a few times going straight, doing about 40mph on city streets. Also once in my neighborhood, doing about 30mph, car started lightly swerving left and right, which was quite scary.

 

I've got Toyo T1-Ss on NISMO wheels--245/18 fronts, 275/18 rears. They are truly excellent in all kinds of weather including heavy rain at highway speeds and with hard cornering (on a number of occasions). I've had no traction issues at any time but I would never use these tires in a New England winter. I've found, as have others, that the Toyo's grip actually improves when they're about 50% worn compared to newer.

 

Found/remembered answer to my own question. CR gave Toyo T1 ss top marks for wet weather grip. I assume T1 Rs will be as good; same tread design.

 

They are great in the rain, I don't care what anybody says!

 

I'm surprised you guys have such good reviews on the Toyo's in wet conditions I wish my experiences were the same. I wouldn't be complaining if it was only one incident. I LOVE Toyo's and believe me, I would really like to give it super high marks in all aspects, despite my scary occurences. Maybe it's because I'm running 20's with a small sidewall???? I have no clue.....
