Default Opinions on Toyo tires

I am thinking about getting these but I have no idea how good they are. I like good handling and I hope they will last somewhat. any of you guys use these?

I think they are na upper echelon (sp) tire, Check out the Tire Rack, they list owner reviews on the tires they sell. Helped me choose which tire to buy for my Daily Driver.

Ive had my Toyo T1-S tires for about 25K miles now. They handle very well, but arent the greatest for straight line traction... But like I said they will hold a line perfectly. In their defense, I never heated them up before running them at the strip since I needed them to last me, so they may hold well if you get them hot first... Im probably going to get maybe another 10K out of them. The fronts are actually more worn then the rears since I bring the car into the mountains alot, and try to be easy on the rears and hardly ever spin em'. I went with 295/35/18s in the rear, and they ran me like $296 each. The front 265/40/17s were like $160... Not a bad tire at all for the price <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

I love my Toyo RA-1s, but they are a competition tire (DOT legal though) that has a way softer compound than their regular tires (only a 40 treadwear rating!)

These tires are great in the rain, and even with the stiff sidewall, they hook up awesome for my 13 second car.

Here are the RA-1s:
