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. Dave 2000SE |

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.

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.

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. Pat |
