^yup this is true. it should also be noted that the treadwear rating between two manufacturers are not the same, so its hard to compare grip that way. but the same manufacturer, with two different tires, those can be compared.

and yes, i do agree that those three tires are better than the re-070, as i never said that they were NOT better than the re-070. but, this is simply based on reading posts and what not. whereas, when i actually owned the re-070 and T1-S, I MUST say that the T1-S is not all that great at the track. the re-070 are better than the T1-S AT THE TRACK. for the street, T1-S pwns the re-070 because of the ride comfort and wet handling. the soft sidewalls of the toyo really kill it for me.
