T1-R's are CRAP in the wet! Never used Yoko's. Currently use F1 GSD3's and love them.

what are you using them for?
most on CS will recommend the GoodYear Eagle F1 or UniRoyal Rainsports.

i couldnt afford F1s so took the UniRoyal route and cant recommend them enough!

Currently using A539s the now as they were fitted on the MO's and even tho they are getting near change over time,they are pretty good in the wet.Better than the S-Dives that were on the Speedlines.

Prob go for Nankangs next tho.

Im running on full g-max 60mm front 90mm back with 195-45-15 and they are terrible in the wet. There is no grip wat so ever when you start to push it. I had toyos on my speedlines and there is no comparison.. toyos 100%
