i'm looking at getting some new rubber for my 13b carbed 85 GSL and considering going with toyo proxies T1-S 195-45-14 on the front and 195-55-14 on the back and thoughts or reviews of the rubber?

 

Have read nothing but positives about this tire. No actual experence though...

 

Having come off Bridgestone S-02's and Yokohama A032's... I now have the T1-S. Fabulous tire. No regrets.

They're amazing, plus the lightest in their class. You can save on average 15-20% on the weight of your tire by going with the T1S.

I've got a set of T1-S's on my car now. 255/35-18.

Have been very happy with them. Dry traction is very good. Lateral stick is very good. Wet traction is much, much better than I expected for the tire. Overall I rate the tire a 9.5 out of 10 for a true street tire. I'm only reserving the extra .5 points for something I haven't tried yet.

We'll be testing that last 0.5 at Putnam Park March 22 !

FWIW, it's supposed to warm up starting in March, so hopefully we'll have good weather March 22!?

 

Awesome tires. I'm on my 2nd set.

 

very good tires. but kinda expensive. i'm currently running 285 on the rear and 45 on the front. handle very good and has very good traction.

 

Awesome tire. I just got a test run through a 1.3-mile ( ) auto-x course in enuttage's 378RWHP beast on the T1-S's. I was thoroughly impressed. Lots of grip for a street tire. Not quite Falken Azeni's grippy, put pretty darn close. I would say as good as, if not better than the fabled Bridgestone S03's. I can't speak for the wet traction though. The Toyo's are definitely on my short list for when the AVSi's burn up.

 

Hmm, maybe I should get these in 255/40-17 for the 9 x 17, 42-mm offsett BBS RG-Rs?
