Tires Toyo or Kumho

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)

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.

I liked PS2, it was pretty durable as well. Kumho mx was a pretty good deal for 225/40/18. Grip was good for the price, though a little weak on wet surface.

so far i think it is the toyo. the more tread on the ground the more grip

yes, they're T1r's. Only tires I could find in 195/45/14 and I had to order them from California, drive 100+ Kilometres to Buffalo, and take them back to Canada, but it'll be worth it

In my opinion the ride quality/comfort did not change when I switched to this 19" setup compared to the stock 18" Aristos. If anything I think the tires are a little more compliant and comfortable than the Michelins. The Toyo Proxes 4 offer superb handling in the dry and wet, and decent performance in the snow. They are great all season performance tires that have a long tread life.

I have had both, and can honestly say that I will not buy the Kumho's again. There is nothing wrong with them, but they are definately not what I would classifiy as a "performance" tire. They have a very nice, and have a quiet and comfortable ride. They just don't stick like a good performance tire should .

I can speak to the Toyo's from experience. I had them on my RSX-S, 225-45-17. I can only rate them as moderate. Grip is good, but not great. Certainly no better than F1's. Sidewall stiffness also is good, but not great. Press on the sidewall of an un-inflated T1-S, and you'll see. They are not terribly stiff. One thing I would give them an "F" on is noise. They were noticeably louder than the stock Michelines I had when new. And by 20k miles, they absolutely howled. I personally won't buy them again.
