myself and 3 others have the t1r down here and we all had the same feelings.. the inner tread wore faster then any other i had , they scallopped badly on the inside and my bbk would always lock up my tires , they developed a slight pull to one side , this is just my opinion afetr having them for about 8k miles or so , they also let loose in the corners without warning , i have had goodyears , dunlasp, bridegstones and the toyos and so far the toyos i hated

That is surprising Ed. I have had them on my car for nearly 10k miles and the only noticeable wear is on the rear tires. These have done a much better job than the T1S and the BFG prior to that. Traction hasnt been a problem, then again I am not FI

well since you guys are talking about matching up front tires to rear tires and sidewalls

what sizes should I get... right now my fronts look beefier than the rear
how can I get the rear to match ??

Im currently using Nitto555

245 35 20
275 30 20

I was thinking of going w/ falkens
