Advan AD08 Vs Toyo R1R's

I'm looking into street tire upgrade. The Advan AD08 in 255/40/18 or Toyo R1R's in 255/35/18. Currently I have 18x9 rims and the tires I am running are Toyo T1R's in 245/40/18 and like them very much just looking for a little more grip.

R1R has more grip but the AD08 has better turn in characteristics...both are a big step up from the T1Rs.

Daaaaaammmit! I didn't realize they were so new. I got a local tire hookup, I can't afford to pay full price for these top o' the line tires. Oh well he can still probly find me something good for cheap. Most of the popular choices don't come in 19" though... and the search continues.
