Yokohama Vs. Toyo

[21nemesis]

I am ordering tires for my new rims this week and have narrowed it down to 2.

Yokohama S-drive or

Toyo T1R

Any of you have any experience with the Toyos, since I know the S-drives are new and not very many people have them.

I love the look of the T1R and know about how well they perform. But, the S-drive is supposed to be a step up from the Parada Spec-2s, since the Paradas don't do very well in wet conditions.

Don't know if it'd make any difference, but the tires are gonna be 225/35/18 & 245/35/18. Please comment & Vote.

Get Falken Azenis and be done with it.

I've had experience with the yokohama's they're nice. I've heard mixed reviews about toyo in general.

As for the azenis. Yeah they're good, I like them but I don't think they're on the same level really.

The Azenis R pretty much TRACK tires. Not very good in wet conditions. Ascutallly, I don't think you really wanna have those tires on while driving in the rain.

I think I've read somewhere that the Falken Ziex's were number one in the rain IIRC.

Definitely very good in rain, yes, but not number one. I have compared the Falken Ziex 512 to a few other tires in wet weather.

Both the Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3 and Firestone Firehawk SZ50-EP (now discontinued, unfortunately) are better for wet handling and braking.
