People with Toyo T1-S

I have -1 camber and -1.44 camber in the rear and have not seen any inside wear on the tires on the back after 4k miles and I think this is because the rears get hardly and wear since it is a fwd drive car. I was told with the Toyo T1-S, if there is any negative camber at all the inner tread wears very quickly, anyone running a car with a h&r drop or something that gives you negative camber similiar to mine? Is this terrible inner tread wear true?


Lastly, what tire pressure should be used for best handling/comfort.

I hear that as the tires wear they get very loud on the highway and create a whirling sound that becomes inbearable inside the cabin. Any comments?

I use 38/36 (f/r) psi for comfort.

Yes, as tires wear, they create a whirling/thunder sound. My last 3 set of Sumitomos, Falken, and Michellin tires did all the same on my other car. I grew used to it until I replaced the tires.

Ran 38 cold which when hot was like 42. I never noticed a loud whirling sound that becomes unbearable inside the cabin. Granted there was a little more noise then new, but nothing that was anoying to me.

The tires are loud, I just turn up the volume to 11 and drown it out!

Which pressure is best for no cupping or feathering and is the best for cornering at the same time?

Why don't you just go to http://www.toyo.com/contact/, scroll down to quesiton #6, pick up the phone, dial the appropriate number for the coast closest to your location, and get the answer to your question from people who's paycheck are dependant upon providing the consumer with accurate information? I fail to understand why anybody would base any decisions on the input from any individual(s) who's 'opinions' are not/can not be backed up by empirical data!

Maybe because they will suggest 32psi which members on here have stated many times that the pressure is to low for optimal handling and treadwear, but thanks though, Ill stick with consumer opinions any time before dumbass customer service guys
