You have to watch your sizes on the 9x16's choices are limited with certain sizes.
I had 245/45/16's and ran the Toyo T1-R's\

245/45 16's are the sizes I will be using, how did you find/rate the Tr1's performance wet & dry?

There is a good post on Pelicanparts.com about the T1-R's.
For the most part the T1-R is a good street tire. I do not drive my car in
wet conditions so I cannot offer an opinion on wet... the dry performance is really
good, better than the Yoko ES-100's I had before. I'd say that the T1-R will give
you good performance and good wear for what you pay for. There are better
tires out there, but at a greater cost, in some cases, much more money.
Tirerack.com has most of the tires available for your size, I got my T1-R's
from edgeracing.com. You might want to go to pelicanparts and read the post
about the T1-R's....there are other choices, like the Kumo's that people like.

Good Luck
Chuck

Are you looking for all season, summer only, or race tires?
