toyo t1r OR Kumho MX
I am torn between the two tires. the toyo proxes T1R are $100 more shipped to my door than the Kumho ECSTA MX. but then the toyos have better tread wear, 280 vs 220.
which one should i get? which is the better performer in the dry and wet. also, which one has a stiffer sidewall?
the sizes i will be getting are as follows:
(F) 225/45/17

I can get T1Rs for about $550-$600.
They are great tires - I'm not a big fan of kumho, but from what I hear, the MXs are great tires. I think the Toyos are a little more versitile - much better wet traction.
If it was between the Toyo T1S or MX, i'd say MX. The T1R is much improved - stiffer sidewalls, great wet traction, and they can definately hold their own in the dry.
MX vs T1R... T1R. Although your decision has been made
...useless post by me
