Tires Toyo or Continental

I had BBS LM's on my 04 GTI (not an R32). 19x8.5 et 25 trying to remeber the tire size either 225/35/19 or 235/35/19.....i'm drawing a blank,but they where Toyo Proxy 4's and i liked them a lot.

195/45/14 toyo proxes are splendid. I loved that set up.

A while back I got some Proxes-4's from Les Schwab for some ridiculous price like $67/tire. I thought it was a good deal.

I ran the Toyo RA1 this weekend at Mt. Tremblant in a 235/40/17 and I really like them, much more grip than the 615, but you need to get the pressures right on them. I did find that at full tread depth I got a little squirm especially if they over heated.

Well, on the T1-R, its the more upgraded tread design, the T1-S has always had shoulder wear issues, where it will tend to wear out fast than the rest. with the T1-R, they have included lateral ribbing that helps disapate the wear on them, making them last alot longer.

toyo is the best easily available tire for the job. nice profile on them. kumho's look like crap stretched (or not stretched)

O.K I did it. Got the Contintal Cross Contact UHP 285/50/18 put on this afternoon. Driving home they seemed to be very quiet and smooth running.

Toyo Proxes St - 275/55/18, v rated, m+s rated, 420 treadwear rating, 114 load rating, 50 psi max. pressure, A-traction, A-temperature. This has been the best replacement tire I've had. My 3rd t-Reg had 26,000 mileson this tire and showed little wear.

They were replaced with 205/65 X 15 Continentals on VW alloys (15X7) and after 15,000km still look like new, but they are noisy.

toyos wear fast.
