TOYO proxes defy the laws of physics
I just thought i would post up how impressed i am with these tires. I have posted in the past how sticky they are in the dry..amazing btw. But yesterday was the first time i drove on them in the rain...amazing again.
I literally cant explain how great these tires are. My FD makes ~350 rwhp and these things hold traction. I went from breaking loose in second gear when the secondary came on with my old stock bridgestones to hardly being able to chirp second. I am getting great traction off the line and much better more predictable traction when on the gas thru corners.
Go buy a set. Very impressive!

Toyo Proxes... Which one?
T1-S, FZ4, RA-1, TPT, S/T, Z1.
I use the RA-1 for the track, and like them. Right now with low tread depth they're absolutely evil in the rain. They were okay at full tread depth. Also remember that when making comparisons to your old tires that new rubber is much better than old. The older rubber gets hard and the difference is more apparent on wet roads.

I was using Pole Postion S0-2's before but in stock sizes. The Toyo T1-S are 265/40 and 245/40 that I use now. They do hold better but not sure if its the tire or the fact of being bigger (wider). Never drive mine in the rain but dry weather driving it is much harder to smoke 2nd gear. Like you said just a little chirp..
