Default Initial impression of the Toyo T1-S

Mods if not appropriate for this forum please move to basement.


So I've put on approximately 600 miles now
2 trips to Sacramento and commuting with the car 75miles per day will do that in a week

The first 2 days I had the tire, they were quite noisy. At first I thought it was just because the tires were still new. I would take the freeway on-ramp at 45 and the rears sounded like squeeling pigs!

Saturday morning I checked the tire pressure on all for. The fronts were at 32psi the rears were at 32psi. Doh. I went down the gas station and increased them to 34 front and 35.5 rear. After that I drove to Sacramento.

Well what a difference a few pounds of air pressure makes The rears nolonger squeel like a pig The car as a whole has a lot more grip then it did the day before.

After about 500miles I did a quick start (about 1900~2000rpm take off) getting on the freeway and wow! With the dunflops I would have gotten mostly wheel spin. The Toyos just chirped for a sec and griped! Very impressive.

I can't wait til next weekend for the autoX now

I've gotten my SAG back which I was slowly losing for the past year or so
