impressed with Toyo T1-s Road noise :)
just bought 4 new toyo 215/40/17 T1-s from leigh tyres (£260 delivered!) and am very impressed with tyre noise on the run down to the in laws over xmas...
M1>a42>M42>M5
historically a noisy trip in the scoob (using Eagle F1's) even after soem recent re-surfacing work on the Mways.. was still bloody noisy. (road- not zorst)
on xmas day- was wonderfully quiet on cruise (4k in 5th approx)
Glad I have gone back to toyo.

saw the results of the T1R on a recent track day.
didnt seem to impressive.
not one owner I have spoken to prefers T1R over the 1-S for either fast road or track work...
plus.. T1-S are FAR cheaper way better VFM imo

i wasnt a fan of the gsd3' s.
i find the toyos give me more feedback and are more progressive when they let go (unlike the F1's I found)
anyhoo- VFM toyo cant be beaten imo

I got T1-R on my MY03 UK WRX, and i am impressed, BUT, i aint no skillfull or on the limit driver so i cannot comment in that respect. From what i read on here you may err towards the F1's me thinks?

T1R`s that Chrome is going on about, are certainly are over hyped.
I can feel them getting considerably better as a few more miles are on them though
I will be going back to Bridgestones next time.
I`ve now driven T1R`s on th limit, and they are easy to drive, very predictable, but compared to Bridgestone RE050`s dont offer the same grip/or feeling of grip.
THis was at relatively low speeds ie between 30-80 mph, but at full attack and exactly the same car setup.
