got my tires flipped too late and the front right passenger side is showing 1-1 1/2inch length about 3-5mm wide thread lines but no metal yet.

my current setup is 9.5 +12 on toyo t1r 255/35/19 front and 10.5 +12 on 275/35/19 rear.


im planning to raise the front about 1/3 to 1/4 of an inch and get everything re-corner balanced and aligned again. current camber is -3.25 all around but im planning to do -3 all around since i'll be moving to a 245/35 and going a bit higher.

yokohama s drive ($920)
toyo t1r ($1070)
hankook v12 evo ($820)
falken 452 ($865)

what are your experiences with the tires and what would you go for with the prices given -mounted and balanced.

of course any1 would say i want sticky + good thread + quiet. but lets be realistic.

thanks all.

 

im currently running toyo proxes t1r's... 245 front 275 rear..... i was actually just going to start a thread similar to this, asking about other tires to try out similar to the t1r's...

my opinion on the t1r's, great tires, very sticky, great for the track.... they are a bit noisy, but so is the entire car lol.... only bad thing i can say about these tires is that they wear very quickly, which leads to teh reason why i was going to inquire about similar tires to try out..... i love em and i do frequent at the track so i would like something with similar grip/feel, without the rediculous wear.... now i know people are going to say if you go to the track they will always wear quick, but before i used to go to the track they would wear quickly too under regular daily driving.... dont mean to hijack the thead, just have the same question basically... what are the best tires???

 

Do a nice roll out back and drop the camber to -2 , you should be able to do -2 up front with a 245

 

i've used Toyo, BF Goodrich, yoko and now to Falken. Toyo and yoko wear out pretty quick. Falken Treadwear rating at 300AA while Toyo at 280AA.

As for price, Falken is the lowest.
As for look, it looks pretty good also.

I would recommend Falken.

 

btw, for Falken, it only cost you around $782

Rear: $446

Free shipping. It is Discount Tire Direct. I ordered my 20" (255F/305R) config few days ago. It comes the next day via UPS.

 

hmm looked at those falkons and read some reviews... sound pretty good, anyone else have some input on these?? Not sure if i should just stick with the toyo's... reviews seem to be the same...
