Tires Toyo or Falken

Well, on the T1-R, its the more upgraded tread design, the T1-S has always had shoulder wear issues, where it will tend to wear out fast than the rest. with the T1-R, they have included lateral ribbing that helps disapate the wear on them, making them last alot longer.

toyo is the best easily available tire for the job. nice profile on them. kumho's look like crap stretched (or not stretched)

225/40/18 falken ze512's on an 18x8.5" wheel - and those are correctly sized for the mk4 - rolled shoulder extreme...

Falkens are a good tire choice for the price.

Toyo Proxes St - 275/55/18, v rated, m+s rated, 420 treadwear rating, 114 load rating, 50 psi max. pressure, A-traction, A-temperature. This has been the best replacement tire I've had. My 3rd t-Reg had 26,000 mileson this tire and showed little wear.

I just put these on as summer tires and auto-x tires and the traction after they warm up a little bit is awesome. I used to have trouble even with the F1s spinning in second sometimes. With these I get pretty zero under hard acceleration.

I run my 615r for my daily and on auto cross. One HELL of a tire. The wet grip is amazing. The dry grip is even better. I have yet to break them loose in an autox event. There are gobbs and gobbs of grip. Plus the tread is meaty from the get go.

I have a set on one of my Corrados and LOVE them. I've only had them for about 3000 miles so far, but dry grip/handling is amazing, and wet grip really isn't too bad at all. Standing water I would take it a bit slow, but even on a wet road after the rain, they grip/handle pretty well.

I rolled the rt-615 and loved them, More grip than I ever needed/used.

They turn to hockey pucks on cold enough pavement, snow/ice aside. Winter travel on 615's is a death wish.
