It would be just for daily driving, no track events or anything like that. TIA

Given T-1S is a previous generation tire (to be repaired by the T-1R), my take is yes

yes, before i put the F1 GS-D3's on my car, i thought the T-1S's were the best thing since..........

sliced bread.
imho: the F1's ride & handle better.

I've had both, the F1's are great tires for the street, slightly better steering response.

Both are fairly quiet tires with an audible bark when pushed to their limits. I am currently running the T1S' now. Personal preference from a performance standpoint. RA1 > S03 > F1GSD3 > T1S. The F1's are not significantly better than the T1S imo to justify the difference in price. Saving $32/tire = a 5th for a spare
