Question what's the difference between the Toy T1r & T1s?

As topic sez really - got Eagle F1s at the present, but am looking at the Toyo T1-r tyres.

But I've also seen the T1-s. What 's the difference (in PLAIN English please )

Cheers,

Dan

The T1-R supersedes the T1-S.

The T1-R has a "block" pattern on the side wall which is supposed to reduce road noise and flex.

I'm using them at the moment, they're OK but I don't have the wet confidence that the F1s give - different class mate.

T1s are total ****e....

Soft sidewall making the car roll. Good wet grip though


T1r is far far better.
Super stiff sidewalls a la Bridgestone re type tyres.
Good wet grip, awesome dry and the car will corner flatter.
