I have Toyo T-1S's on my Z and like them.

For track days in the wet, they are fantastic. On dry track days they are almost as good as the OEM F1's. They are taller than OEM tires and they have a pronouinced rounded shoulder as apposed to the square shouldered OEM's. They are also somewhat quieter than OEM's and about 20% to 25% cheaper.

Proxes T1R's are good tires and are cheap I don't think the KDW's are that much better but it may very with climates
