Toyo Proxes T1-S vs. g-Force T/A KD

Any comments on which is a better street tire? I know the KD's are sticky but don't know how they compare to the Proxes T1-S's.

Thanks,
Doc

I am getting the Toyo Proxes T1-S suppose they are coming on Wednesday. So I will let you know. The T1-S is an all around performance tires which is suppose to give you better road handling characteristics, better steering reponse, wet/dry grip performance as well and it also have that rim protector which is said to keep it from scratches and abrasions.

Both are good tires. I would guess that the KD (not KDW) will have more grip. T1-S are nice because they are relatively light, but they also tend to be a little more narrow for their numeric size than average.

I've got some great tires on my car now (S-03s), but I picked up a set of T1-S for the rear at a good price and will get the same for the front when I have to replace them. T1-S are a good deal even at retail prices compared to similar tires from other manufacturers.

Depends on the sizes...

Still, I'd give the dry traction edge to the BFG G-Force KDs over the Tah-Yohs (Hoosier pronunciation).
