i have the toyo t1s' and i love them. No complaints here. Mine are 265/35/19 and fit perfectly with my 19x10 +22... I took out the fender liner so it wouldnt rub at full turn or on big bumps... I wouldnt go with a smaller sidewall if I were you though. It seems perfect for my daily driven car. BTW I have put a good 10k of driving in sun and rain and they have not slipped up once.

the difference isn't noticeable...

stock wheels @ 60mph

with a 265/35 it reads 2.3% slower which = 58mph

with a 265/30 it reads 1.8% faster which = 61mph

have fun with this calculator....

Here's another AD08 review I just found in Competition:

Yokohama AD08 tire review

From what I've read, it seems the AD08s are at the top of the pile.

Yeah I've read other reviews that've said pretty much the same. I wouldn't need anything that performs that well but if I can get em for a good price I say why not? Still waiting on a response from m friend with a list of performance tires he carries in the sizes I'm looking for.

well as of today ive decided to stick with the 19's cuz im gonna like the look of those over 18's in the long run and i dont wanna regret gettin rid of the 19.

as of now i still dont have tires cuz my tire guy can only get me dunlop and goodyear which apparently have a very limited selection of 265/3x/19 tires. he has a set of 275/30 waiting for me but i hear those are a guarantee fender roll job and i dont wanna roll. so i told him im gonna hold off for a while and hopefully he can fnd me some 265/35 or 30.

oh and in case you're wondering why im sticking with this guy instead of just gettin another brand of tire its because he can get me a set of tires for an INSANE price. im talking, a set for less than the price of one tire kind of insane.

good to hear that.
I got 275/35/19. It is huge tire than what I thought before. Actually i lowered 0.9" so that I definitely need to roll rear fender and also need to work on front inner liner. I assumed that you already checked 19" wheel thread lots of time like me.
