Though rumors suggested a tread compound change, TireRack is suggesting Toyo hasn't changed anything but the TW rating on the R1R. From what I've gathered, this means they're just not going to perform well for us (except maybe the 235/40/17 size,) assuming we don't all go shave the tires to whatever the magic number is.

My opinion isn't worth much as I've never run ANY of these tires - last time I actively AutoX'd there was just one tire to have. Just adding some noise to the discussion based on what I'd been reading, since I am trying to decide what tire to run this year. Timing is likely to be huge.
