I was looking at the Toyo T1R's, really nice tires. Just really couldnt find anyone that carried them.

I have those exact ones sitting in my garage, because I thought I was going to get 17's for my car. I bought them off of ebay used, about 60% tread left. Still seeing if my roomie will buy them off of me, if not, I'm selling them to anyone else.

Rain dosent really matter to me because it has never seen it. And im not really worried about treadwear because i only drive the car like 2 times a week. So they are perfect for me.
