What can anyone tell me about toyo t1r's compared to 615's or rs2's?
T1R- better in the rain, softer ride, quieter rideQuote:

So, do you want a nice ride with decent grip, or do you prefer balls to the wall?
Yea what he said but insert in RS2s where he has 615. ;)Quote:

I run the RS2 on the POSIII and really like them!
But what do you want in tire???
I haven't seen a really good comparison of the RS2 to the 615.
Road and Track just had an article comparing tires for the MX-5. Sadly, neither of the above were tested/mentioned. :confused:Quote:

I guess the balls to the wall as titus put it. Just saw them on edgeracing.com and didn't know about them. I was interested due to coming in a 205/45/15 instead of 205/50
I'll tell you what... You bring a car with 15" RS2s on them to the first S2K of '07 and we can swap wheels at lunch. ;)Quote:

I would say that the RS-2 has performance that is close to the performance of the RT-615 but with better ride quality and wet performance. I've been happy with the RS-2 for my street tire autocrossing.
The T1-R has some great (shorter) sizes, but I think the performance would be a let down after driving on the RS-2 or RT-615.
Ok... Drag your butt over to my house Monday and we will do the test on the street. ::Banana::Quote:

R-S2s and T1Rs will not help you next time it gets cold. They're summer tires and don't like the cold weather.
Since you put so many miles on the car and not a ton of time on the track, I'd look into the T1Rs. I've also heard good things about the Goodyear GS-D3. My favorite daily driver tire I've driven on was the P-Zero Nero.

Did some looking into the P-zero's and they look good, how would they handle a few track days? say 1 at MSR and 1 at Hallet?
Nothing is going to make a car better on ice, other than studded tires.
Get some Blizzaks... then you have a built in excuse when TtT beats you on the track! ::Banana::

TC, did you have a bad experience with Pirellis?
