what tire to buy ?

im currently running t1r's, the price is good but they are discontinuing them, street use only

whats a good alternate ?

i heard dunlop sp sport maxx or bridgestone potenza are good although the bridgestones wear quickly, nitto invos get good reviews, a few of my friends have reccomended them

i need 315 25 19 and 255 30 19

The Goodyear Eagle F1 is exactly the same time as the T1R if you like that tread and want to stick with it.

Buzzm, please keep us updated as I need rear tires in the same size but there is such limited availability of the nittos and t1r that you might be stuck with the ps2. at least for me, locally there isnt anyone with those tires in stock. In speaking with Damon at Tire rack, he is of the impression that there is such limited demand for these sizes that Michelin may be our only choice soon.
