Toyo's are a top tyre only prob is their quite a soft compund so loads of grip but they wear down quicker than some tyres on the market.

Dont know if the T1's you mention are similar to Proxys, but if so id steer clear as had a set of Toyo Proxys on my old car and grip in the wet was crap. Also they was brilliant in the warm and wore down very quick, and i mean within 5 months on normal driving.

I got quite good grip on the Proxy's but then again when i ran proxys I ran 17's so not sure about the bigger one's.
