Nobody makes the sizes you are asking for. On top of the fact that if they did you would be in the wrong height. If you want the correct sizes you would be in a 225/45R17 and 255/40R17 rear. We did some tire testing here recently and the T1S did not fair too well in the test.
I think there are better tire options available. Let me know what you are looking for out of a tire and I can make a recommendation.
Let me know if I can help.

T-1S are great tires. I've had Advan A-046s, S-02s, S-03s, Goodyear F1s, etc. These are as good or better than all of those. I think the fact that Tire Rack doesn't sell Toyo has something to do with this... I could be wrong.

I have the Goodyear GS-D3s on my 17" Ce28ns (225/45 & 255/40).
Very happy with them. I was looking for something that was good in the wet, and a better tread life then SO2's for extended driving on the freeway. Performance is good and they are quiet as well.
For what I was looking for they received the top rating in Consumer Reports and Tire Rack.

Tire Rack does not carry these tires so how can they recommed them?

I not only sell tires, I sell Toyos also (try not to) and I agree with Jim. We are competitors but the Toyo issue is something we both agree on. Look into Yokohama AVS ES100s or maybe Michelin Pilot PS2....

No one has mentioned Bridgestone RE50A's in 225/255. I decided to try them on my LE28n's, figuring that there must be a pretty good reason why Honda chose RE050's for MY 04 & 05. Turns out to have been a good choice IMHO. With a couple of the right suspension mods on my 02, I've achieved neutral handling on the street, (controlled 4 wheel drifts around roundabouts sure are fun!), substantially increased grip levels over the OE SO2's, very acceptable performance in the rain, with a tire that is both quiet and comfortable. Very good, although somewhat pricey shoes.
