    Are these the same as Toyo FZ4 or are they different?

    I haven't tried Khumo but the Toyo T1S's that I have atm are a great tyre! I have a set of T1R's to try next.I have only heard great things about Toyo tyres

    Toyo's

    I'm also using the T1s, exellent tire for grip and life. A tiny more road noise than usual tyres but its like that for most street and performance tyres.

    Size i'm using is 215/45/15

    i havnt used toyos before, i have been through 2 sets of khumo, they were on my civic when i bought it and again on my euro, they worked really well in the dry but they were very questionable in the wet, they were ecsta supra in both cases, 21540R17 and 23540R18's

    What options do we have for cheaper tyres for a non-high performance daily?

    Toyo T1S and T1R seem a waste for my piece of shit EG, especially at $170 a pop.

    All I really want is a good looking tread pattern, long lasting, quiet and better than average wet and dry performance.

    I'm a tad scared running 215/45/15 T1, because I've heard because the T1S has super soft side walls, and the wide tyre profile;
    a) I'll get bad fuel economy
    b) it'll wear really quick
    Is this true?
