The guy told me that the t1-s' were discontinued, i dont think thats true. Imma put them on some time this week, i got em for 375 otd for 225/45/17, mounted balanced..etc, i'll follow up with a review asap

 

what? they were discountined


lol.....welp the 4's should be good for year around performance but don't be disappointed when you take it to the track and they don't peform like you want.

What he said...

 

t1s's discontinued? bs... the last place I bought tires from tried to feed me that same crap.

 

Someone’s nose in getting way too long.

I just talked to the corporate headquarters and asked if the Proxes 4 is considered to be a replacement for the T1S. Answer == NO!!!

I asked if Toyo was going to continue making the T1S. Answer: "The T1S is our top-of-the line street tire and we have no current plans to replace it..."

I talked a bit more and they said the Proxes 4 is for all-season use, the T1S is recommended for 3-season max-performance usage.

 

my nose is getting longer?

 

No, the guy who told that story to darrinb...

 

:captobvious:

Heh, I just saw your 'reply title'.

 

No problemo...

 

i'm sure they are better than the stocks

 

actually you'd be suprised how well the stocks do at the track.......


not hating at all....good luck hopefully they are good tires!!

 

trust me i know about how the stock tires do at the track, i have made about 100 passes with them

will see how they do april 7th...

 

yea but aftermarket all seasons arent much better....

 

Tires designed for decent handling don't alway make good drag strip tires. In many cases, the all season stockers may do better.

 

why are places saying these tires are discontinued??

do they not wanna sell them??

 

so they can sell the other ones......

 

Doesn't make sense as the T1-S is typically more expensive.

 

that is dirt cheap. they want a fortune for those around here.

 

profit margin might be higher on the 4s and/or overstock?

 

i got the hook up on tires...if these arent too sticky i can always buy some t1-s for the summer and keep the 4's for the winter...

i believe reg price on the mounted and balanced is between 550-625, so i am guessing 375 is prolly like 10-20% above cost

 

That's a real good deal - I bought 4 225/55/16s for my 1st Gen and paid around $525 OTD ($117/tire). I'm pretty happy with them so far.

 

they go on this saturday...
