I dont think so, I am not sure. They are on Ebay and they only state: TOYO TIRES 235/35R19 315/25R19 PROXES T1R.

There is alot on the net about them being very good tires... I was hoping someone here had some experience with them

Those are the regular Summer Sport tires.. I had T1R's on my M3, could never get traction and sidewall was very thin. Overall they were okay, dont know about these?!

T1R are good tires, but not nearly as good as Michelin PS2's. They are a good inexpensive alternative, but in terms of a 911 TT, they might be a bit overwhelmed. I have their previous generation counterparts (T1S) on my Mazda RX8.

I love the Toyo R1 Competition tires (and not because two of my cars are sponsored by Toyo). The traction is A+++ (far better than PS2's) My only complaint is that when you 'mash' on the brakes at anything from 140-230mph range, the car (my 996tt) gets a slight woble...This is due to the sidewall on the Toyo and the fact that I am on 18's...

LOL yoou really are insane, mashing the brakes at 230 mph

Anyway RA1's are amazing indeed, but totally unnecessary for a streeet car pumping out nowhere near the power you are. Tread wear and so on, shouldnt be used on street daily if not needed
