Toyo's TS-1

Tiresonline.com has the Toyos TS-1 on sale for $59 US. I needed new tires
and got a set. $45 US for delivery to the East coast. What a deal.

Don't you just love that new tire feeling. Take them out and give them and
good run and tell us how they performed.

The $59 price is a special for the 195/50/15 size only.

195/55/14 is $74. Still a great price.

The TS-1s at $59 are a bargan, but not perfect! They do very well in wet
weather and even with some standing water on the road. One drawback seems
to be noise and vibration when cold. (Highway speeds, cold tires) . I've
beeb satisfied with two sets on my 99.

Arrgh!

Okay, I can't take it anymore.

It's a T1-S, not a TS-1.

Okay, I feel better now.

That's a heck of a good price for those. I tried to get my local tire store
to price match, but they said they can't do it.

I'm having a hard time deciding if I want these or not. Are these really
all that good in the wet?

They are very good wet, though in my opinion the Yoko ES 100 is
just a bit better. That said, I just took the BBS wheels with
worn Yoko's off today and replaced them with a cheap wheels-
and-T1-S package that I picked up at R-Speed during open house.
Added only two pounds at each corner and that was while the
Yokos were worn.

Or to be precise, as usual, the tires had lost all profile on
the inside edge of the front tires. The rear tires still have
plenty of profile left all over. I really need to get a new
alignment, but I guess it will have to be after AutoX tomorrow.
At least I will have some thread-grade rubber on the road, and
I actually like the looks of the wheels too.

They are amazing in the wet. I've got them on both my Miata and S2000 and they
just stick. I had the AVS ES100s previously and they were decent but I find the
Toyos to be just a bit better.

I have had the same experience as Leon, with the AVS ES100's seeming to
perform slightly better in the wet and not quite as well in the dry as
the Toyo's. The difference seems minimal both ways, and I never did any
direct comparison tests at any time, so it may have just been how the
tires felt to me at the time.
In any case, I think that they are both a great summer/performance tire.
Next time, I will probably base my buying decision between these two
tires types based on price more than anything else.

I just ordered some, too. Hope to see them this week. $59.00 is a great
price.
