I took them off the integra they made it handle like it was on plates of jelly.

Massively over rated by people on forums who dont know a good tyre from a bad tyre. Try Falken 452 or Hankook Ventus RS2 if you are on a budget or use something like Bridgestone Re050 or Dunlop Sport Max, Conti Sport 3 or Good year F1 asymetric 2s.

If you are just driving around gently it wont make any noticable difference but if you are planning to drive it quickly dont buy T1's.............................................. .................................................. .................................................. .................................................. .................................................. ..........................did'ent clarkson slate the bridgstone tyre big time
