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.

    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly. 
    • That worked out PERFECTLY! Thank you big time to JJ. He was able to swap me his stock diff. He drove all the way to me as well. Killer! Removal & install was pretty straightforward. The diff itself is HEAVY. So that’s a 2 man job.  Man does the car drive nice now! Couldn’t have worked out any better 👌
    • I'm interested,do you still have it?
