Toyo T1R vs Goodyear Eagle F1 Directional 5

You are right, most of the time the tyre shop will insist you re-balance the wheels and re-align also, so they can charge more. If the slightly worn front wheels are still in balance, transferring them to the rears won't be a problem and with the hardly worn rears, the balancing also should be intact unless some weight flew off. Do the balancing only if you feel they are unbalanced. Of course all these must be done with off wheel balancing and not on wheel. If always have balancing problem, probably need to look at fitting a center cone.
For alignment, just check the tyre wear, if they are wearing evenly, also do not need to do alignment every time.....
Well, for 2 tyre or 4 tyre change method, it is up to the individual. Both have pros and cons.
Just want to ask, if you are using different tyres up front and in the rears how do you do your rotation?

Well for my current case now of course cannot cuz it's staggered sizes using directional tyres. Just hope that they'll wear out relatively even with my driving. :)

If im not mistaken, i think both tyres will have HIGH NOISE level...

Performance wise i think should be good...

But then again, i may be wrong...

Hope you are not offended by my frank opinion....

You're quite right, the GY F1 D5 is a bit noisy. Michelin Pilot is definitely better in this aspect. But it's not that disturbing for me cuz when driving I normally listen to rock music anyway, so I don't hear the tyre noise anymore. :)

I don't have. You can just visit the Michelin website. It's non-directional asymetric type.

I will never use GY after 2 close calls with 2 different GY tires...

Same here, my ride have noisy exhaust and radio always on, so tyre noise for me is the last priority...
