Question Source for Toyo T1R?

Looking to replace my rears but the tire is discontinued in 315/25/19. My fronts are brand new so I only need the rears. I guess I could sell the fronts and get four new tires, but money is a bit tight right now. Any info is appreciated. Thanks!

They are all gone! trust me... Get Flaken FK 452's, similar Tread Pattern. Or switch to Nitto INVO (Good Tire) if you are on a Buget... Otherwise the Best tire is PS2's but 1.5 Times the price of Nitto's... www.discounttiredirect.com has the best prices i can come across Online

they are discontinued.

they are still shown as being available on a lot of websites but when you try and order them they will call or email you within a couple of days telling you they are no longer available...i tried ordering from 4 different places that all showed they had them available online

So it looks like I will need to get four new tires instead of two. Great.
Is there a market for a pair of new T1R 19's for the front. Looks like I will be selling.

Toyo now has the Proxes 1 which I got on my TT for DD use. They are fantastic tires, even in the cold the last few days. Better in the cold then my PS2s.

Doc, unfortunately they do not make them in 315/25/19's.

Looks like my only choices are:
PS2's - $585 each
Falken 452's - $406 each
Nitto Invo's - $367 each
Yoko Advan Sports - $451 each
Continental Conticontactsport Vmax $676 each

Get the Nitto's and Sell the Toyo's should be easy to sell in that Size. Also dont forget to Write a Review of the Nitto's

One of the reasons I ran T1Rs was the ability to dismount and remount on the other side - which almost doubled my tire life. You can do this with the FK452s as well, but the tread on the others is not symmetrical.

I went to the FK452s when I couldn't find the T1Rs any longer.

RiA is correct, i did the same with my T1R's. Get the Flakens... for $50 more per tire you will get Twice the Life compare to the Nitto's

guys sorry to threadjack but what would be the difference between running 315/25/19 and 305/30/19 does it really make any difference?

Andresito, when I talked to Wheel Enhancement today about alternate tire sizes.They said that the 30's raised the ride height to a point that it could affect the front differential. I am not a wrench, or wise in these matters, but they are a good company and board sponsor, and if they say don't do it, I will heed their advice.

uh I always assume rwd instead of awd (i am rwd) hence it might affect it but that depends on the front tires. You can use a wheel calculator and see what the percent difference would be between tire sizes

Edit.

You can use this and see what the differences are, I know there is a certant percentage that you can run hopefully someone can shime in

I went with nitto because I kept hearing bad reviews about the falken and they were the same price. Im pretty happy with the Nitto tire and for the price you cant really go wrong. FYI the nitto tire is a much softer tire then the falken(same 220 rating as the PS2) but the sidewalls are a little soft on the nitto, I can't compare because I've never had the falken tire. What I can say is that i didn't get the PS2 because I have them on my E55 and still to this day can't justify the cost.
