Well I just purchased my 19x8.5 22F and 19x9.5 35R Te37's from Jeff at evolution.

Now I need to buy tires. I am mainly intrested in the Toyo T1S but I can not find where to buy them. Jeff gave me a website "treadetot.com" (anyone know the correct link?) and that link will not work for me.

What tires would you buy? Where? Price is important, but it must be a great tire and I am sure all three of these are great tires. I am told that the t1s and sp 9000 is lighter and that is also important.

I could get the s03 (not available right now) and the sp9000 from tirerack but can not find a good place for the t1s.

Sprry, this post is not very organized, not quite sure what I am trying to say.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks, Jason

It's treadepot.com but the site seems to be down. Try www.1010tires.com for the T1S.


The tires you list are all very good. Don't worry about weight... you bought 19" wheels so you can't be too worried about weight or performance. I usualy buy tires from Tirerack... good prices and great service. I have bought wheel supplies from Discount Tire (www.tires.com) and had very good service.




Hope that helps....

I like the S-03 and T1-S, the T1-s is 4 lbs lighter per tire than the S-03's. Tirerack and Discount don't carry Toyo. The toyo's also have a higher tread wear rating (220 vs 280).

 

4 pounds is a lot!

Actually part of the reasons for getting TE37's were to keep weight down. I know I could have gotten some lighter 18's or something but I still want the car to look awesome.

 

Did you get the black TE's?

 

Nope, Gunmetal.

 

Damn, I wanted to see those black ones in person

 

im getting the Continental extreme contacts!!!!! dicount tire.com
I don't know if they got them in 19" though

 

we do killer deals on Toyo's BTW, though the fronts are out of stock right now....

 

onlinetires.com is a great site for the toyo's

 

I have to take exception to this, my 19" wheel and tires are lighter than my 18s were, and if I could get even lighter tires I would have. I went with Toyos b/c they are the lightest, that way I can go with a more aggressive looking 19" wheel and still have overall lighter rotational wt. Best of both worlds.

 

i have the S03's and love them, they are super stick when warm
i love them
i got them wrap on my GT-7's

S03's all the way

 

i just ordered my 2nd set of toyo proxes t1s from treadepot.com....cheapest i've seen so far, and good service

245/40/18 $179 each
275/40/18 $220 each

and they were in stock

 

I put my Nismo 18s on Tuesday. Mounted Dunlop SP9000s on them. Cost from Discount Tire, $909 mounted, balanced, chrome valve stems and my favorite - SALES TAX. Tire prices before taxes were 245/40 - $194.00, 275/40 - $223.00. Remember that price includes mounting and balancing. Good deal I'd say. As far as handling goes, they're outstanding. The understear I had with the stock 18s (Michelin 225/45 and 245/45) seems to be gone. I'm happy with my choices.

BTW I ended up getting S03's. Could find ANYTHING! even tirerack did not have anything in stock. I had to get the rears and fronts at two diff shops.

Install tomorrow!

 

I am in the same boat as you guys as far as chosing which tires for my car, I wanted the t1s;s due to better treadwear but that was still undetermined, but I am getting the s03 tommorrow however due to a kick butt deal, buy2 get 2 free, its the cheapest I have seen them tires for...

 

BTW, now that my tires are getting worn in, they stick VERY well. Extreamly impressed! And they will only get better in the next few hundred miles.

 

that's true S03's rule, never been happier with any other tire
very empressive

 

Not to change the subject but I was wondering if anyone had looked @ the Goodyear Eagle F1 GS D3's. Prices, weights, etc.?
