they are gonna be 235/45/ZR17 like I have currently!


which tire is grippier is my question and or has better reviews?

also, where is the cheapest place to get the Toyo's, tire rack and tires.com doesn't carry the Toyo, the kumho's are $125 a piece for 235/45/ZR17 which is pretty cheap!

From everything i've read, the MX is going to be the stickier tire. The MX has been compared to the g-Force KD.

Here is the cheapest place i've found the T1-S: http://www.frisbyracetire.com/

The T1-S is the superior tire in every way. Better dry grip, lighter carcass, better rain grip. It is of course more expensive though. My friend has Ecsta MXs on his Max and my T1-S are far superior to his MXs.

also that website that max03 posted for the t1-s is the best price I've seen. I used to buy them from www.treaddepot.com at $154 a tire but I'll be getting them from this new website from now on.
