If the other rear is getting close to half worn down or more, I'd get two new tires. T1R should be semi-OK, but there are better tires for the same or less $$$. T1R wasn't the class of the field in Max Perf Summer tires even in its day, and it is a quite old design by now. Ranked 8th out of 11 in a tire test by Car and Driver WAY back in 2005 CandD tire test. There are much better tires available.

Tire Rack Max and Extreme Perf Summer tires in 255/35-18

Dunlop Direzza Sport Z1 Star Specs are going to give you the most grip per buck wet or dry. B'stone RE11's or Yoko AD08's will also perform extremely well for a few more $$$. If you want a bit more hydroplaning resistance, you could go with one of the top ranked of these: Max Perf Summer tires in 255/35-18

If there's somewhat more than half tread depth in the "good" rear tire remaining, I'd replace the bad one with a new Invo, then replace both when the more-worn one is getting close to the treadwear indicators..

thanks that helped alot but which one you guys think is best for handling the invos or t1r or r1r?

ZDan

For handling:
Toyo R1R > T1R
Nitto NT05 > Invo

This much is clear just from looking at the Toyo and Nitto websites. Between the R1R and NT05, I dunno...

Why fixated on those two brands?
