Default Tires Selection Time - RL Experience Plz

OEM AP1 Rims Rear - 245-45-16 / Front 205-55-16:

Choices:

Toyo T1R
Hankook R-S2
Bridgestone S0-2

Kumho???
Bridgestone Re750?
Fuzion ZRi

Looking for a solid summer tire, get around 10K+ miles or so (daily drive)
Could I not go with a FR: 225-55-16 to reduce the oversteer bias?

(Only street driving)

Your feedback is greatly appreciated and please compare them to something else if possible (S0-2 would be first choice)

I've read up in Wheel Forum. I like to know any NEW feedback on some of these tires. Just because 1 person says they're great doesn't qualify them as that.


If a mod would move it over, I would appreicate it. Thanx

Good experience with my T1Rs. 245/45/16 205/55/16.


Last set were the Fuzion ZRIs, good life but not a grippy tire. Very cheap though.

I love my T1Rs. Great ride, fantastic grip, decent wet performance.

MUCH better wet performance than the S0-2. Will buy T1R again!

Thanks, i was really leaning towards the T1-R, T1-S had good success and the T1-R are even better..

I haven't heard much about the sidewall stiffness though (T1-S were light and soft on the sidewalls).

I can get S02 at the same price as T1-R and i'm having a difficult time choosing

Again thank you.

Any Hankook R-S2 users out there?
