Jixaman Posted February 1, 2014 Posted February 1, 2014 You all know I love the Avon ZZ3 but Avon have discontinued them, so let me introduce you to the new boots... Take a look at these bad boys... Its Toyo T1R's, 245/35/19 and 275/35/19... Got these from Matt at Funky Tyres, if you see this Matt, outstanding service mate and fast delivery... Cheers... Quote
Flex Posted February 1, 2014 Posted February 1, 2014 Let us know how they feel, are you waiting till it warms up a bit before you put them on? 1 Quote
Jixaman Posted February 1, 2014 Author Posted February 1, 2014 Nope, just heading over to get them done just now... The car is on sleepers anyway till all the works done... New spacers required, going for Eibach again, just have to work out the size, wheel is a 35 offset and I want them sitting wide... Going to measure up but if anyone has info on sizes to clear the Brembos, much appreciated... Will let you know how it goes but if you look at Toyo's own promotional videos its the 350Z they use... I dont think ah'll be dissapointed... Quote
Flex Posted February 1, 2014 Posted February 1, 2014 Awesome, my avons have lots o'tread left anyway so be a while before I need any more. Quote
Neilp Posted February 1, 2014 Posted February 1, 2014 I used to have these on my Nismo 19's. Good tyre for the money Quote
Flex Posted February 1, 2014 Posted February 1, 2014 I used to have these on my Nismo 19's. Good tyre for the money How close are they to MPSSs? Or not comparable at all? Quote

Jp606 Posted February 7, 2014 Posted February 7, 2014 I thought T1Rs were discontinued a couple of years ago? Replaced with the T1 Sport (which is an awesome tyre might I add!) Quote
Jake4136 Posted February 7, 2014 Posted February 7, 2014 I thought T1R's were discontinued for T1S's aswell. Great tyres though, had them on my old car. Quote
jollyranchers Posted February 7, 2014 Posted February 7, 2014 i also thought T1 R were discontinued Quote
Ekona Posted February 7, 2014 Posted February 7, 2014 i also thought T1 R were discontinued I hoped they were Quote
Jixaman Posted February 10, 2014 Author Posted February 10, 2014 No, it is replaced by the R1R but they dont do it in my size (unsure if thats a dont or dont yet)... Regardless, tyres are on rims but the weekend was taken up with making money and keeping a 9 year old's karting career going (which aint easy)... So now need to wait probably another week to get the light and the weather to fit up the spacers I need... Just feels like everything Z is at a halt at the moment... Quote
Ekona Posted February 10, 2014 Posted February 10, 2014 T1R was not replaced by the R1R. R1R was a completely new addition to bridge the gap between R888 and T1R. T1R is an old tyre now, and the smaller sizes it comes in gives you a clue as to the target market compared with the much-newer and superior T1 Sport. As long as you're happy with them, and got them for a bargain, that's all that matters. Quote
Andyhut Posted February 12, 2014 Posted February 12, 2014 Is the t1 sport a better tyre than the t1-r as the t1 sport is cheaper on tyreleader which seems strange if it's newer and better? Anyone used kumho le sport ku39 they seem to have good wet / noise / economy ratings? Quote
