i am running T1R's on the front, 275/35/18 and just replaced the R888's, 305/30/19 rears...very pleased with handling and gripping, got about 10k miles on the R888's, excellent traction on stock rims. definitely not a wet weather tire, hydroplane and a bit noisy! rears only, otherwise a good choice, tires direct shipped them to me in a couple of days no shipping charges, total bill was $1285.12 for all four.
