Falken/Toyo Tires for the track?
Does anyone have any experience with Falken Tires for the track?

How about Toyo T1R's?

I'm looking for a way to cut my tire budget and stay in stock class.

Thanks

Don't know about either of those, but (and I don't know if they qualify), have you checked out the Toyo R888s? Best tire I've ever driven, short of a Dunlop slick.

Yes, but R888 are $1600+ a set.

Im looking for a set of tires that would be $800-$1,000 per set.

Maybe going to 18" would help.

Im not looking for R compound as of yet.

T1R's are great for a street tire, I had them on my M3. The sidewall is a little soft for a track tire I thought. The RA1' s are an awesome track tire. For either one of them you will have to go with 18" sizes though.
