well i go to a discount tire thats near me, they always price match for me. So i wouldnt even need to pay for shipping. Then again i would have to pay tax. So it evens out.

How do you like the tire?

so far so good. Excellent rain tire. A hell of a lot better than the nitto 555s (imho), but the T1s still hug the road better from what I can remember.

Overall, I'm 100% satisfied with them.

I would hydroplane all over the place on the nittos, the toyo 4s channel water a hell of a lot better.

How gay would it look if I had a euroteknik sticker on a jap car? That would be euro-rice.

^^^ very very nicely.

Although they are made with the same compound as the T1Ss, I still think the T1Ss ad a better grip off the line. But I haven't driven on T1Ss for over a year, so take that with a grain of salt.

good news

i am pretty sure imma go with these toyos and use em in the snow too...

i hope i can pull a 2.0 with them

u shouldnt expect them to be as sticky as the t1-s, they are all season tires ans the t1-s has a much more aggressive tread pattern, are louder, and dont last as long
