Default Toyo Proxes T1-R

Ooooh, it's been such a long time!

Does anyone here run Toyo Proxes T1-R? If so, are they any good and what sizes have you got?

Following the tech FAQ, it seems like I need
Front 205/55/ R16
Rear 245/45/ R16

...which from mytyres come out as:
PROXES T1-R 205/55 ZR16 91W Rim-protection -

Fletch just posted up in Dreamers tyre thread saying that he rates them.

Apparently they're ideal for the pizza run...

[QUOTE=Fletch,Apr 11 2005, 11:43 AM]I may as well put it on this thread... As good as any.

I was very impressed with how the new Toyo Proxies T1-R performed at the WET Pinkfest Meet at the weekend.
Stuck well when needed, any "loose backend action" was nicely telegraphed and easily controlled.

I've got them and recommend them.

They wear out quick though, 5k miles out of last rears

I was looking at getting some of these but they guy I get my tyres from couldn't get them in stock at the time. Apparently they are really good but can be tricky to get hold of. I am now running Continentals AVS (all weather) in the same size as you specified in the original post as these are supposed to be a good alternative. They have made a massive difference in my car so I would recommend these if you are looking for something similar but a bit more hard wearing.

( PS, you might want to edit the title to say "T1-R". Might help attract the right attention. )
Damn, I forgot to take me browser out of moron mode...

Bugger it. I've just ordered two ES02JZs from www.camskill.co.uk.
