I've had T1-R's as well and they were good.

Running Michelin PS2's right now and they are superior tires to the T1-R, but it also put things into perspective.

I would definitely go back to T1-R's for street use/ daily driving. It's a proportional match-up to my Z's worth and capabilities.

I had T1S, less grip gave me better tread wear, but my current T1R's grip awesome, but my rears only lasted me maybe 10K miles...(285/30R19)...ouch...$500 bucks later.

Please refer to an earlier post! In your own words "Do a search, lazy ***."

But because I know you are incapable of doing so ill help you out and post a quick reference to the post I am referring to. Enjoy!

I picked up a pair of 275/40-18 for the rears over the weekend. So far so good. I need some better weather to get them broken in and put them to the test. To everyone that had good input on the tires Thanks for your help to the other two people, grow up!

IMO-they are too soft for hard cornering, they make the car understeer more than usual. I did not like them driving a Z on Tein Flex HARD through the tail of the dragon. For the $$$, the KDW2 owns it overall.
