Default new tires, wow what a differance

Just replaced my old (maybe original) Goodyear RSC's with Toyo T1-S's. What a huge differance in ride and handling. They are very quite on the road. They hold the road like nothing I've ever driven before. Anyone else ever try these tires out? On;y have a few miles on them but love them so far.........

Sounds great. In my experience, replacing the original GSC's with any new tire, including new GSC's, results in a wonderfully new ride.

Old GSC's (and F1 EMT's on the C5) seen to get harder and louder with age. It's such a slow process that you don't really notice until you make the change to new tires. Then it's - WOW!

Glad you like the Toyo's.

Oh yeah, I know the difference new tires make. When I replaced my old tires with SZ50's 1 1/2 years ago, I was amazed. It was like driving a new car. No more noise, superb traction...
