T1-S vs T1-R

I have T1-S and the rears are worn down. I have heard that the T1-Rs are much quieter and perform very well. Can I mix them since my fronts are almost new and what is the experience out there with the T1-R?

Depending on your driving style, it'd probably be OK. Its basically the replacement for the S, with a stiffer sidewall and better wet handling.

I'm putting them on my S2000 for street rubber, and I've been a diehard S02 fan for years on it. Biggest reason why I never went with T1-S is because of the weak sidewalls.

I'd do it.
