What are your priorities? If aquaplaning resistance the the T1-R will be better. It's pattern resembles the older GY F1 GS-D3 which was the best aquaplaning resistance tyres to date. However with more grooves then rubber and having good aquaplaning resistance, the dry grip suffers because of less rubber contact which is needed in dry grip.
Therefore if into dry drip, maybe even wet grip the F1-D5 should be better. Some have used and feedback is close to PS3. Some even mention better then PS3.

My priority in good traction in wet condition and able grip well at corners.. My friend just changed his front tyres(EG6) from parada spec2 to T1R, his review was the grip is not that satisfying as parada on dry condition.

T1R has soft side walls...so cornering is a lil tak syiok.... but it does perform well enough on wet roads..

Agree with bro. madman, the T-1R sidewall a bit soft. I have tried before, even wet grip in my VR not good. Might as well you try out the F1 D5 then....

F1 D5 should be Thai Made. Thread wear not sure, should be around 280

if its 280, its the same as T1r with AA traction A temp.

[vr2turbo]

Sometimes should try other tyres then know the differences.....
