T1R vs Proxes 4 vs S.drive

[98gsr]

Please take your vote for the best tire for performance and treadwear for a teg thats a daily driver ****also when i was at les schwab they offerred to do siping on all my tires for extra 12 bucks if your not familiar with this then here http://www.discounttire.com/dtcs/tireSiping.dos should i get them siped? **Will it effect street drag racing performance at all in your opinion***

I wouldn't get any of the tires you chose. My choice: Falken Azenis RT-615.

proxes 4 is an all season tire... not even sure why you're considering that given your other choices.

and most importantly what rims are you mounting these tires on?

 

[dc2GS-R]

Based on the choices, I would go with the T1R. Although personally, I wouldn't get any of those.

 

[JDMxDB8]

Well if I had to choose from one of the three, I'd get the S. Drive.

You should be able to get more than 30K miles out of T1Rs.

I've had my RT-615s for more than 20K miles. They're going to be gone soon though. And I touge/track with them too.

I have T1Rs on my ms3. I don't even have 20k miles on them and I DON'T drive it that hard, and they are wearing considerably. Not a great tire, I had bridgestone potenza RE-01As on before and I will Definitely put some bridgestones back on, or yokohamas. I also had both sets of ties on my M3, the proxes 4s sucked and the Toyos T1s at the time wore down very fast, and they didn't even grip that great.

I heard that the T1Rs were improved but after putting some miles on them I'm a little disappointed. For the money, they are all right I guess, but I would rather just spend another 300 and get some better tires.

 

[JDMxDB8]

Well I figured the T1Rs would last longer than the RT-615.

T1R treadwear- 280
RT-615 treadwear - 200
