Default T1-R, only in Canada & Europe

I have been looking into these as well but this tire is not released in the U.S. yet so you are not likely to get much feedback. I think I am going to go with the existing T1-S out of the U.S.. The Canadian pricing on tires is outrageous. I am getting quotes of +$1,800 for the T1-R or $1,440 U.S., nearly double what you could find in the U.S..

I plan to buy from Edge Racing out of Miami. They will ship UPS to Canada for about $90. The cost is $756 u.s. plus $90 shipping for a set of 4. I am going with stock Z06 sizes on my Vert stock rims. i.e. 265/40-17 front, 295/35-18 rear. Good-bye run-flats.
