In short BOLLOCKS!
T1-R's (and the 888 track tyre) are extremely good tyres. I do track days & occasional competition stuff and hardly have a car with only 2bhp.
Whilst T1-R's are not a track tyre (for that I use 888's) they are certainly competant. They are also not a budget tyre, they are a mid-range brand.
If people learnt a bit more about the relevance of tyre pressure, geometry and not to scrub tyres, especially on track, they would probably get more out of their tyres.
