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.

    • Have you flushed the initial fluid yet? It should look like a rainbow unicorn shat glitter into it. 2nd or 3rd fluid change is when you party.
    • all brand new unit from Tomei, fluid, bearings, etc. Tomei said they call it a 1.5 lsd because its 100 percent lock up under acceleration and 50 percent under deacceleration.  as I mentioned I used their fluid, install and their break-in procedure, (alot of figure 8's) but even when driving straight, or even slowly backing out of garage for first time, (at 2 mph) then driving to and from figure 8 parking lot, each tire in the rear would sporadically grab, skip, bounce, shutter and skip, shutter back a force I could feel causing clutch to slip then grab, at any speed. shaking entire car. I removed unit, since I put stock back in and all is fine, via process of elimination, its something with the lsd unit itself. I wasn't going to beat up the entire car more or change anything else for no reason as I had a feeling something in the lsd itself was wrong as everything was fine before this alone was installed and I rechecked over everything else after first time backing out I suspected an issue. I'll probably sadly already need new tires now just from trying to drive it 5 miles and performing the figure 8 break in. but if someone has any ideas I'm all ears 
    • Ok thanks..that was my second question if i can somehow bypass this even with Nistune(that is all i have right now...aparat from stock ECU. So with some aftemarket it can by "bypassed" or make it work?  I know there is Link or Haltech (mainly used). We have ECUmaster here so i will gather some info about it.
