Toyo T1S. any input?

hi all, I have been reading up on the Toyo T1S tires. They seem KICK ASS. Lemme ask you guys a question though. Is $154 per tire in a 235/45/17 too much money? This is the FINAL price at tire kingdom by my work.

I know EricL is the biggest T1S Supporter on here by reading past posts. Eric, how are you liking those tires??? I plan to mount these on my stock rims, and purchase the Eibach Prokit springs in the very near future. Do you think the eibach springs are gonna drop my car too low for use of a 235/45/17 tire?

Thanks again!!! You guys have saved me a shitload of research time. Especially ericl. Sorry for the typo-s my keyboard got some epoxy glue spilled on it.

Yeah, it seems these are the Cl-s'ers choice I have heard nothing but good things about these T1S tires. Wow, what a tread pattern! and here in Florida, I cannot wait until the next heavy rainfall to try these suckers out. I am hopefully getting them mounted tomorrow if all goes well.

anyone else have these tires?

Toyos Rock !, you won't be sorry. That price is Excellent. By the way, they're so sticky i can't get them to chirp. The stock tires chirped constantly. Good luck.
