Tires Toyo or GENERAL TIRE

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.

The Generals are great, i had a set of falkens on the car and my new wheels i put the generals on and the handling in the rain was way better, dry they might be a little sticker but i really don't push my car that hard so i really cant say.

I have these tires and i like them a lot. You should print out tireracks price, take it in to where your going to buy them and they should match the price. thats what i did and i got my 17's for 70$ something a peice.

Had em on my last 3 cars and the new one...Great tire but that's WAY too much for em..Tirerack.com should be more like $80 per tire.. Good in the rain and great around turns... It's NOT a snow tire though, it's a high performance summer tire. Overall I LOVE them...

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)

I just got them mounted on Tuesday night, so haven't driven them far. They ride far nicer than my Nokian Hakka winters . Only downfall to the Generals is max pressure is 44 psi, so it's pretty marginal. But they are a 100H tire, so that's good. Plus they were not pricy.

I had the Toyo FZR's (I think) on my all-season 1.8T. Not the best by any stretch, but not too shabby in the muck either. Got me through 2 winters and only 1 time was I sweatin' with grip problems.

I put T1S's on my 96 GTI last spring (on SSR Comps), and by October (maybe 7-8000 miles later) they developed a really irritating humming sound -- this despite being well balanced, inflated properly and cared for (no curb jumping, pothole hitting or other abuse). Couldn't see any evidence of cupping or unusual wear, but they just got annoyingly loud. Nothing turning up the radio couldn't drown out though.
