Those T1R look somewhat promising. I like the tread pattern. Has anyone had any experience with these?
Does anyone know if the price of 20" tires will come down any? It seems like there are more 20s now than ever and the prices dont seem to be going anywhere.

nitto in my experience burns down quicker, dont ask me why, just seen it time after time on customers vehicles, and as far as the t1r, its not available in U.S. currently,,,,,,,,though i wouldnt be surprised to see it soon

too bad the t1s is so limited in the 20s sizes.... they only have up to 275

Anyone know when they might be available in the US? I will be needing new tires very soon, within a month hopefully. I would really like to try these out.

ooops, i did NOT say anything

i think 295 is probably the best choice for 11, a bit stretched like 275 on the 10. but if i can put 305 on 11 that would be sick isn't it
just as sick when i see the damn bill....

I remember you saying " you gotta pay if you wanna play" 305 would be absolutely sick in the back. That is a huge tire. For now I guess I will stick with a 275

Sorry guy's, usually the U.S. get the product first & then we get it 
intresting. Why not e-mail Toyo USA directly? Perhaps they can shed some light on the subject.
