Tyres, again

Post by MegatronUK »

Looking at the few tyres I can get for the size I'll be fitting, and it comes down to a couple of decent manufacturers:

215/45x15

Dunlop Sport SP9000
Goodyear Eagle F1 GSD2
Toyo Proxes T1-R
Toyo Proxes T1-S

http://www.camskill.co.uk/products.php?plid=m4b0s308p0 the two Toyo tyres are here, not too badly priced. But I can't make out from the Toyo page what the actual difference is between the two. Anyone using either?

This is a complete stab in the dark (I've got T1-s's on the rear of my 2 - excellent) The S may stand for summer, and the R for rain, but its just a guess :-k

Ah, got it...

"Proxes T1-R will gradually replace the Proxes T1-S to be the ultimate tyre for performance use." - from http://www.toyo.co.uk/index.php?fuseaction=car.t1-s

Guess its just like the F1 GSD3 compared to the F1 GSD2.

"Enthusiastic drivers" - LOL! love it...I suppose "choice of tyre for boy-racing lunatics" could have an adverse affect on sales :P
