Any one here used Potenza G3's, RE-01, Toyo T1R, Toyo R1R?

Im in need of new tyres and thinking of one of those tyres. Also are the R1R a semi slick?

thanks Luke

I run nothing BUT T1R's.... they are, imho, the best tyre out there for street users. There are better track tyres, but the Toyos suit my style..

Diff tyres will suit diff drivers... I know the eagle f1 asymmetricals are rated higher than the toyos in some tests, and I may give them a try some day, but I've been more than happy with my toyo t1r's....

cheers mate, Need a tyre which can take track work also, until i get 34 gtr wheels with semi slicks.

the t1r's will cope with whatever u can throw at them - in a street scenario

they do lose traction during high lateral G cornering (usually when you have 215's - not so pronounced when ur running 265's)

they are one of the best wet weather tyres out there... however I'm curious about the test wheels magazine ran recently where they score the f1 eagle asymmetrical rather highly (i think thats the one?)... either case, it was an interesting report and I think if you're gonna get new tyres, you're going to want to read it so u can select the tyres u want for the specific application...

if you want info about track tyres, im sorry but i dont know anything about that... but ive heard the toyo r888 semi's are very highly regarded

Chef is using the R1R's on his GTR. From memory, they're borderline semi's.

If they're used on his GTR, then they must be nothing short of awesome.

    • Congrats on the career change!  I did something similar at the start of the year too, left IT / corporate after nearly 2 decades. Soooo when's the motor coming out for the spark plug change?
    • Hi guys, long time no post as per usual! It's been a busy year so far, the biggest thing being a new job.  After 28 years in the automotive industry I decided it was time for a change.  I was losing faith in the industry and where it's heading.  Now in a completely different industry (electrical) working for a company that manufacture water pump contollers.  Not as sexy as cars but it's an interesting,  challenging industry. I now don't work Saturdays which is a bonus!  It's still 50-55 hours a week but having Saturdays ack after 28 years of working them is awesome!   No news on the GT-R but i did decide to add some more JDM goodness into my life....           1990 300 ZX.  She's not perfect but for a 35 year old car she ain't bad!  Just going to tidy it up a bit and enjoy it.  It's currently auto but will start stockpiling everything for a manual swap. It WILL distract me even further from the GT-R but im hoping not for too long! It somewhat proves a 6'8" freak can fit in a 300 ZX.  Sort of...  I drove it home from the previous owners house in Melbourne via Black Spur and Merton Gap (2 awesome bits of Victorian twisty road) and it was amazing!  Handles so well!!!   I don't think it would be worthy of a full build page but I'll post up some of the upgrades here if anyone is interested?  Cheers guys!
    • End game is to: - Remove all the slop from old worn parts - Adjust setup so that the wheels actually fit and the car is drivable (currently it is not because of the extreme rubbing on the guards).   Progress over the last couple of days, removed the rear hubs! Next steps: - Buy bushings - Replace bushings/bearings on hub - Reinstall
