I would definitely recommend this tire..

The TR-1 seems to be a couple of bucks more than the TS-1
do you know if the t1-r or t1-s stretch nicely?

If you live closer to new england area it would be cheaper ordering from tiresavings.com since they are in NY and shipping is cheaper. If you live in more of the southeast states I would order from edgeracing since they are in Miami. For westcoast people, I would check both sites. I wonder why tirerack or tires.com does not carry toyo?

I was checking the edgeracing site and they didnt have the T1R listed in the 275/30/20?

I received my T1Rs for my MR2 last week- I am doing 215/35-18 front & 235/30-18 rear on 18x8 + 18x9 (this is an '85 MR2, first body-style). The tires look killer- nice tread pattern, 280 treadwear rating, and aggressive bead / rim protector. Too bad I don't have wheels to put them on yet... maybe next week!
The T1Rs come in some neat sizes, including 21"... HeHeHe...

T1-R Tires
Where is the best place besides tiresavings, and edgracing.com to buy the T1-R's?? Edgeracing said they didn't have them in my size 225-40-18, and 245-35-18

I just ordered mine from a local shop and they will be in by the end of next week. They had to get the 275/30/20 from GA as they are in short supply. I was able to get the tires, mount, balance for $1350. I thought it was a great price because the last set of T1S were around $1450. The only reason I didnt buy online is the good shops around here wont mount tires that you didnt purchase from them.
