Tyre availability?

[V8Bart]

So need a new set of rears soon, and with a track day coming up thought I'd best get them ordered, only Toyo seem to have stopped making them. Currently have T1R 245 35 R18 which are about 3 years old, obviously I can't mix and match different makes/compounds and can't afford to replace the perfectly good fronts, so...........

Please can anyone offer up some ideas? Thought this issue went away when the problematic 15" & 16" we're replaced with 17" and 18's

Anyone use T1 sports?

I have them on my Tuscan, no complaints

Ditto get your pressures right

Got a set of 4x Toyo R1Rs going on my car very soon.. They look a damn good tyre and should be a bit more grippy than T1Rs, which I reallly liked once worn in.

32 psi should do it ;-)

Anyone know if my setup will go tits up if I had to switch to 40 profile from 35?

I did the same swap and I did get my geo checked, but I did put the front spacers on at the same time. My Tuscan drives a lot better with the 40 profiles

I have just taken a set of T1Rs off - the rears are 255/35 ZR18 94Y and have 6mm of tread on them. PM me for more details if you're interested.
