Kaz 0 Posted January 23, 2007 Report Share Posted January 23, 2007 Toyo's are well over rated IMO - I've never had a tyre aquaplane quite like a Proxy T1-R . I went from Toyo's to F1's, and the difference was remarkable. Link to post Share on other sites
mike 6 Posted January 23, 2007 Report Share Posted January 23, 2007 wow never heard that most peole on here sing toyo's praise esp in the wet :S Link to post Share on other sites
matth76 1 Posted January 24, 2007 Report Share Posted January 24, 2007 BF Goodrich G-Force Profilers ...I'm thinking about these next. 5 out of 6 rally teams choose this brand and its very successful, but often overlooked when people select tyres for their road car. Similar price as Toyo's, Goodyear etc. Everyone I've heard who has used them says very good things about them. Worth looking at.I have used Goodyear F1's but they were very good to start with but absolutely useless (and scary) in the wet when only 2/3 worn. Plus they only lasted about 6 months.

spanky 0 Posted January 24, 2007 Report Share Posted January 24, 2007 I got some Toyo Proxes on the front in Nov 2005 and in Nov 2006 they had to go on the back due to excessive wear (and I mean nearly bald) on the shoulders (but not the centre). They were at the correct pressure (tested weekly), not been wheel spun, and only covered about 7000 miles, so won't be getting them again.I'd always used Michelin before and find them to have much better grip and last alot longer, so will soon be getting some of them.You get what you pay for I suppose!

vr6madmike 0 Posted January 24, 2007 Report Share Posted January 24, 2007 Iv just got T1'Rs and cant fault them so far, Link to post Share on other sites
Gibs20 0 Posted January 24, 2007 Report Share Posted January 24, 2007 So far i have found Michelin Pilot Exalto 2's to be the best tyre all round. Fantastic Grip in wet or dry and last very well too, i had them on my last car and i rate them very highly indeed as do friends who i have recommended them too. Link to post Share on other sites
