Tire Question

[78silverbird]

Has anyone out there used the Toyo Proxes T1R tire? If so what did you think of them and how did they perform?

haha! Funny you should ask about those tires.
I just bought a GA GT with them, and I'd say they are super soft, and will peel away quickly, esspecially if its wet or any sand's on the roads, overall the suck!

+'s, They are Z rated, so I bet they are expensive, being a high speed tire. Look like they hav V-groovs for rain dispersal ....
My fronts are bald, geting ready to junk them for some triple treads, thats just my

Well it sounds like I should thank you for your , it saved me from buying a crappy set of tires. What tire would you recommend, I don't seem to have too many choices around where I live the only brands I have found available are Toyo, Falken, Mirada, Cooper, Goodyear, and Bridgestone. Just to let you know I have a 99 Grand am gt. Thanks for the help.

no prob.
The Toyo, Falken, Mirada are a sporty tires, usually soft and wont last long in any conditions, unless you liv in the desert :lol
Goodyear, and Bridgestone both make really good tires, but you might think they are expensive(up to 185$ each) but both of these tire comp make an all season tire with 80-90k mile warrntys.
My GA SE has had the Good Year Assurance(80k mile warnty) and they work great in the summer as well as wet/snow conditions.
around 180$ each, getting a set of 4 for my GT next week for 650$, lifetime rotate and balance(well for 80k mls)

I thought I heard Bridgestone makes a 90k mile triple tread tire too, but I havnt seen one yet. they probley run around the same price as Good years.
Think thiers some compition between tires makers

one other thing, the GT does call for a Z rated tire(look on your door), that doesnt mean you have to put them on. But the other tires are not Z rated, so I wouldnt drive over 100mph with them. remember safty first!
