What owners say

No road-test results yet, so every score here comes from owner reviews found online.

How scores work
Relative score
0–100. Blends road tests (60%) and owner reviews (40%) category by category, the same way on every TireWheelGuide page. With only one of the two, the missing half is estimated from it, so the score stays closer to average. It needs at least one road test or five owner reviews.
Road tests
0–100 per score, from published tests, newer tests counting more. Each result is compared with every other tire in the same test, so a win against a strong field counts for more. The average tested tire gets 70, the best 100; with only one or two tests a tire stays nearer 70. The discipline rows show % of the best tire in that test.
Owner reviews
0–100 from the owner reviews we found online, adjusted for how generously each site rates and scaled like the road tests: the average tested tire gets 70. With only a few reviews a tire stays near the average.

Themes extracted from 10 owner reviews found online.

The Toyo T1S is a polarizing performance tire that receives mixed reviews, often praised for its dry-weather handling and value, but frequently criticized for inconsistent wet-weather performance. While some enthusiasts appreciate its steering feedback and longevity, others report significant traction issues in cold or damp conditions, suggesting it is highly sensitive to temperature and vehicle setup.

Pros

  • Strong dry-weather grip and handling
  • Excellent value for the price point
  • Good steering feedback and road feel
  • Attractive tread design with effective rim protection

Cons

  • Unpredictable or poor traction in wet and cold conditions
  • Long break-in period required for optimal grip
  • Inconsistent performance across different vehicle power outputs
  • Weak sidewall construction reported by some users

Worth knowing

  • Users with high-horsepower or torquey vehicles reported more difficulty managing traction compared to those with naturally aspirated, lower-torque setups.
  • Lightweight sports cars, such as the Westfield, reported positive experiences with longevity and balanced grip.
