Toyo Tyres

[TJS]

Wow, quite an old post ! Maybe someone is listening though..

I am on my third set of Proxes T1Rs and I can't rave enough about them. I have had 2 sets on an SS, 1 on a clubbie and the F6E will be swapping out the Dunlop Stupid Maxx roller skates as soon as I can wear them out.

The maxx's let go way too easily - especially above 40 psi. I always drove the proxes at 48 psi and they just kept getting better all the way up to there - and still wore evenly.

The toyos also give HEAPS of warning unlike the snappy Dumlops and their wet performance is nothing short of superb.

I reckon they will be the only road tyres that can truly keep up with those 20 pistons of brembos and be able to tame that traction issue at the end of 1st and 2nd gear - that alone has gotta be worth a second - not to mention the extra grip powering out of corners.

I dunno much about rubber vs. silica and the toyos are my first silica tyres so not much to judge against.

^{Just swapped the rear dumlops for Toyo Proxes T1 Sport - awesome difference. Running 8" std F6E rims with 255/30/19s.}

^{Still have the dumlops on the front but no complaints there - actually not a bad front tyre, but s*#tfull for the rear.}

^{After a bit of a run in the Toyos are responsive, grippy and give HEAPS of warning before letting go. Sport Slaxx offered none - it was either grip or butter.}

^{With TC off and in manual} I ^{am getting slammed back in the seat for the 1/2 and 2/3 changes rather getting the arse end out with the std tyres. Yet to try them in the wet but research tells me they are again better.}

^{Supposedly same wear rating (240) but my rears were half gone when} I ^{picked the car up at 6,000kms last year.}

^{It's now 28,000kms and the rears are smooth as (Frosty was the previous owner so} I ^{can't be too upset with the tryes - would you?). We will see what} I ^{get out of these...}

Would be very interested to hear if any one has a comparison of the Proxies to the Invo's ?

Made by the same company so would be interested in this aswell

I know this is an old thread but I'm up for new tires soon and was interested to hear if any members have thoughts on Toyo Proxes versus Nitto Invo's ?

Toyo t1 sport for me

[rednose]

I have the Invos and have been very happy with them. My next set of rear tyres will be Toyo R888's.

I need more grip, but in saying that the Invos have served me well and anyone looking for an all round tyre should definately try them.

I have had Toyo proxes4 on many cars including skylines and my older BA Mk11 xr6T Bought my BF Mk11 xr6T which had Maxxis Victor Z1 and as good a tyre if not better for the price wouldnt go back to Toyo's save your money and try these best bang for your buck for $220 each!!! I have gone throught 4 sets with rotating and have scaped threw 40 00KM off harsh driving. Scrubed out the shoulders but that's my driving style ha.

are fg drivers tyres wearing out evenly? all 4 of my tyres are worn out on the inside half, while outside half still has decent tread

Check your tyre pressures and get a decent wheel alignment, shouldn't be scrubbing on the inside at stock height
