Toyo T1R

[Robo]

Hi my Starlet Bros!

 

I've been eyeing a set of Toyo T1R tyres for a long time liao. However after searching high and low calling like almost 20 shops enquiring for the specs im looking for I manage to get it from the distributor of toyo. (shopor warehouse is in paya ubi). anyways the spec im looking for quite odd lahz. its 195/55/14. the charbor told me the stock will be coming in coming monday from japan! but hor the price super pricey! its at $150 a pc. she told me to go down and find her she will be able to give a better price.

 

ok.. i was wondering if any bros out there is interested in getting new legs for your ride. mayb u wont want the spec im looking for or even the same model but if we go down together we should be able to get a bulk discount.

 

i will most probably only get it if the price is below $100 a pc. cuz $150 is a bit the crazy... i think i can get 16" with that price liao. so if ya all interested pls let me know den we can work it out. also pls reccommend me other brands that ya all think its good...

 

a thousand thanks to ya all first!!!

i got my T1Rs 195/55/15 for $105 bro.

 

dun be a robert head!!!

[Kingcopa]

too expensive for 14"

[Starletgt]

Dun get that tyre. It's way to expensive. Call me, I will advice u.

[Gtturbo]

i got my 15" T1R at $100 from AMK industrial park 1

[Ody_2004]

The dimension is not standard as compare to those 15 inches, which explain the higher price.

 

Anyway I used this model before on my MX5, not bad!

[Robo]

wah bros. thanks for all the quick replies!!! appreciate it! anyways.. as wad Ody_2004 said... its not a standard size therefore explains the price. but cuz im using a 1E engine so i tot that its not advisable to change to a 15" and plus i also no budget for the rims. lol! plus heard alot of good reviews about this rubber.

 

now slowly sourcing. was thinking of falken ZE326/512 or i might just get back the same model that im using now which is goodyear NCT5. most probably a lower profile one. cuz this tyre i would say not bad the grip on both wet and dry.

 

starletgt bro i call in awhile.. just got back from lunch.

[Kezg1]

It is too x....go and source around 1st

[Robo]

do u guys recommend any particular brands for 14"???

[Robo]

am looking for good wet and dry. hopefully can last abt 50k

[Ody_2004]

ZE326 cannot make it.. esp in the wet..

[Dionyeo]

Potenza RE-01R

Falken RT215

Yokohama A048

all hvae 14inch =]

[Kyojin]

odd size la dey! that's why so expensive...

 

Original: 175/70-13

+1: 185/60-14

+2: 195/50-15

 

Perhaps you can try 185/60-14. 195/55-14 is almost 1% larger than original, but 185/60-14 is only 0.4% larger, which means it's a better fit and also means that it'll be easier to find/cheaper.

 

food for thought.

[Kyojin]

one word: ST115

 

 

i find that it's very well balanced tyre. excellent grip in both wet and dry conditions. it's comfortable and noise is acceptable. but do note that the road noise does get louder as the tyres wear out. it's price is also perhaps why it's such a popular tyre, the benefits i get is comparable to more expensive tyres (aka value for money).

[Josephteo]

heard a lot of bad reviews of Falkens.... very slippery...so unless you want to be drift king...then maybe can get that...

 

how abt GR80?

[Kyojin]

that's utter rubbish. I swear by Falken ST115 (and ST512). grip is excellent in wet and dry.
