sorry tyre question Toyo Proxes T1-R

Sorry for making another tyre thread but Just want to get the general opinion on these, they seem the best for the money but I dont really have any experience with them, anyone used them or know much about them?

Rich1988 · 12 Nov 2009 at 12:02

Wear rate isnt an issue really I do maybe 3k a year as its a second car, soft sidewalls might be an annoyance though

Rich1988 · 12 Nov 2009 at 12:29

I would be getting 205 55 r 15

Rich1988 · 12 Nov 2009 at 12:40

Right ill go for 205/50/r15s then, being a 50 it will make it under read slightly ?

Rich1988 · 12 Nov 2009 at 12:49

Well the car under reads anyway (as most do) so I wouldnt have thought it would put it out more than a few mph? bringing it closer to true speed

I had theses on my Teg, I was scared to go above 80mph with them on.

cant be any worse than what I have on there now, wheel spin in 3rd anyone?

Nuts, I was looking at a set of these for the Alfa when the P6000s wear out (although I'm starting to think hell will freeze over first).

P6000s are shocking! they cause understeer worse than almost any tyre I have ever used (bar the dreaded linglong)

Yea, your linglongs didn't really generate much grip iirc

I think they generated negative, sign post attracting grip!

so its a choice between eagle F1s or toyo proxes tr 1 which do the OCUK collective reckon?
