bjcrown Donating Members 182 Member For: 19y 1m 10d Posted 28/01/12 10:10 PM Share Posted 28/01/12 10:10 PM I used Maxxis MAZ's with stock wheels were good value for money, got plenty of km's out of them and cost $180 a tyre (245 40 17's) Now using Kumho KU31's good in wet and dry but last set only lasted approx 5000km's, they are soft and smoke up on the dyno Really? Shouldn't the KU31's last longer as they have a treadware rating of 320 compared to 280 for the MAZ's? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't put too much in stock by that rating.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Kuhmo better $ for $...I agree, 31s get noisy for the last 30% of tread.The Achillies looked stretched on my 9.5" rims (275). Side by side un-mounted the evos are wider than both the Yoko advan and Achiilies. The 275 Achillies were almost the same size as a 245 advan.275evo's sit nice on 9.5 with good bulge and rim protection.I have 275 achilles on a 9.5 on my Late model camira and the tyre sits square with the rim. My son has them on a 10 and they look a little stretched, but most 275 do on a 10. Maybe you have a 10 inch rim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goliath Member 383 Member For: 14y 4m 14d Gender: Male Location: Sydney Posted 31/01/12 10:09 PM Share Posted 31/01/12 10:09 PM Got 595 EVO's (245/35/20) on the rear. Seem pretty slippery in the wet, even when taking it easy. Tyres have seen about 2000km.Will give the KU31's a shot next time (got KU19's on the fronts atm). Not to concerned about the tyre noise issue, I'm sure the exhaust will help eliminate that haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barnesy Donating Members 210 Member For: 15y 10m 8d Gender: Male Location: Brisbane Posted 23/05/13 11:31 PM Share Posted 23/05/13 11:31 PM Another +1 for Toyo T1 Sports, in the Toyo range they are the top of the tree in terms of their Ultra High Performance street tyres. Fitted them last Saturday and they are QUIET as a mouse and forward and lateral grip is outstanding. I compared them against Pilot Sport and P-Zero Rosso and was sold in to these after having Proxes 4 on the car previously. 245/35/19.How would you compare the proxes 4 to the T1 Sport, in grip (wet & dry) and tread wear?

Posted 23/05/13 11:54 PM Share Posted 23/05/13 11:54 PM The T1 just do everything better. The Proxes 4 went off after a while but still had a fair amount of tread left. They were a nice tyre for a stock car. I wouldn't put them on my car now though. Jack :spot on: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
