I was recommended these toyo tyres for continental car. I am looking for tyres for ordinary family usage. Comfort will be the priority. I hardly drive in rainy condition and even if I drive it would be about 80km/hr. I was told these are made in Japan. Would welcome any comments and recommendations.

Decided to go for a change as my wife French's yoko is unbearably noisy and harsh although the thread is still deep due to low mileage travelled. It is already a 4 yrs old tyre and for every reason, a change is a must. Was recommended this Toyo model and I have to admit to it is the price and that it is MIJ that enticed me to make the purchase. Initial feel is really comfy due to soft side wall and one look at the tyre design you know it will be quiet, judging from the non aggressive thread design. But want amaze me is the thread wear that is 400 but with a AA rating for traction. Need to run in I before I can have a feel of the tyre feedback. So for the price of a Korean brand tyre, can consider this MIJ Proxes CF2. Size purchased: 205/55/16

Hi all bros, Here something to ponder... Went to Serangoon area for breakfast and manage to get a parking space along a two way street. I park my car against the traffic flow and place a valid parking coupon accordingly and happily went to nearby hawker center for Indian dosai.. When back half an hour later and found a parking slip on the car front windscreen.Looking at my watch,still have about 20mins remaining. So pick up the slip and the offence was "parking against traffic flow" and kena fine $50....first time aware of such offence so next time park your car follow traffic flow

Hi bros, Need your feedback and advise. Recently, saw this symbol looks like an engine block appear on my instrument display. Look in the manual and it says " sent car to Toyota dealer" What exactly this symbol mean and is it a major problem to the car? I have not sent my car for checking yet. Have a nice day ahead.

Tried to do wheel rotation + alignment @ two workshops during servcing (Honda + autobac) . The tires are changed from back to front and not left to right. But after fixing the tires from back to front, the steering wheel cannot be centred . Going thru a wheel alignment process will not help . May I know why as the tires are only 1 mth old bought from a tyre shop quite famous in the forum . There no damage to the tires it is just that is cannot be aligned . Hence in order to not to cause any unnecessary wear and tear to the car .I switch the tires from front to back again and this time round there is no problem in the alignment. So is there a case for exchange for my case ? or should I just trade in the tyres

Hi guys i would like to share this lobang. The shop is called PJ Tyres & Sport Rim Its at No1. Jalan Permas 10/3 Bandar Baru Permas Jaya 81750 Masai JB. Tel: 07-3871860 I went there together with my new 15" rims. I'am using a 13" rim at that moment. So i plan to get a Toyo T1R. I purchase 4 x toyo t1R 195/50 R15 Alignment and 4pcs centre cone hub for my 15"rims because my old hub cone is for 13". The tyres cost only + free balancing 1100 Alignment 25 Centre conex4= 95 Total its only $505 SING! (exchange rate 2.4126) Compared to singapore which is S$125-S$130 per piece without centre cone and without alignment. I think its a pretty good deal. Also you can go for a quick hair cut or massage just opposite the shop. Further down there is a carwash and KFC. Jaya jusco is also behind there. So i think its a good place! Tung Chun and kazama is also near there :) Just say to the boss Faris Proton wira black colour recommend :) Cheers!!!!!

Both are comfort based tyres & made-in-Japan. Hard decision to make. Which would you choose in terms of overall comfort and good grip in the wet and dry for normal driving in a 1600cc saloon?

My current RIR seems to stop wearing ie the thread groove/depth seem to stay the same for the past 2 years!! ..... i bought them 2nd hand (previous owner changed car after using these RIR for 2-3 months before he sold them to me, tyres have never been tracked before and after I bought them) My 'theory' why they stop wearing: rubber hardened when tyres reached around 1 year old and therefore hardly wear out.... the tyres dont show any sign of minor cracks, so are they safe enough for dialy normal driving in the dry? ...... the grip seems ok for normal use. Thank you advance for any bro's advice (my yearly mileage is about 20k km)

Has anyone used C1S and the new ME01 before? Can give a comparison between them? I'm looking for comfort/quiet tyres and still handle/brake decently in wet and dry. Narrowed down to these 2 but not sure which to get. Budget is $150 a piece for 205/55/16 I'm currently on Federal SS595 which handles and brake well in wet/dry but after 10000km is loud as hell on e'way even at only 90-100km/h. bway tahan liao Thanks

Malaysia's Lion Group, owner of the Malaysian tire manufacturer Silverstone Bhd is selling the Silverstone tire brand to Toyo Tire & Rubber Co. Ltd. of Japan. According to press reports, Lion Forest Industries Bhd, the Lion Group company that holds 100% of Silverstone or 203.88million shares of RM1 each in Silverstone Corp. Bhd. Seeks to dispose the whole amount for RM462million (SG$192.333mil) to Toyo Tire. The purpose of the sale is that Lion Group wishes to realise its investment and unlock the value in Silverstone and wants to use part of the proceeds to settle an inter-company debt amounting to RM22.5million as at 30th June 2010. In other words, Lion Group wants to make a decent RM140million in cash from the sale as well as pay off some cash advances to the parent company. This gain will be reflected in Lion Forest's financial year ending 30th June 2011 accounts, which translates to an increase in earnings of 0.60sen per share. The report also states that Lion Group is consolidating its businesses and wants to put more focus on its steel and retail businesses. Lion Group is one of Malaysia's key steel manufacturing players. We all know what Toyo is known for; their tires like the Proxes R888 especially as well as their industrial rubber, soft and rigid polyurethane products and is listed on the Tokyo, Osaka and Nagoya stock exchanges. It is the fourth largest tire manufacturer in Japan. Toyo has a market capitalization of US$513million and expects to fund the takeover of Silverstone Tires through internal funds. Silverstone is a surprisingly profitable business entity. It saw its net profit double to RM33.57mil for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010 for the previous financial year and its net asset stood at RM285.67mil for the same period. Silverstone Tires will be Toyo Tire

got a set of T1Rs 12000km ago... great tyres... excellent grip even in wet conditions.... noisy yes but bearable due to its good performance... just now as i was cleaning my car due to the rain earlier.... realised that my back right tyre is soft... i just pumped a day before... i tried to back track since sunday i did not hit anything... did not roll over anything hard... did not scrap the curb nor go over any potholes... i checked no nails no sharp rock the tyre looks perfect after i just drove slowly to the petrol station to pump (it was 20plus PSI, i usually pump 34-36PSI)... now an hour later tyre still looks good... hard and fine... WHAT HAPPENED SIA???????? tyre experts out there know what happened? i am really hoping it was the stupid shell station pump not accurate when i pumped on sunday... but if so i must be a c--k couldnt even feel it at all sia... or is there such thing as the tubless head loose or leaking? guess just have to see how 2molo morning...

Short FR on the Toyo C1S Size : 205/55 R16 Rim : Stock Installed it this afternoon at a shop near to Geylang police station. 1. Straight drive (SLE) dry road at 125 kmh no problem. 2. Evening driving in the rain going over puddles of water with no aquaplaning felt. 2. During cornering, it does not skittle over road undulations. 3. No slippage (Wet) 4. Very willing to move off from stand still. 5. It steering angle is sharp & precise with minimal steering effort. 6. A little bounce when going over hump (might be my air pressure) 7. Quiet level is surprisingly good (120kmh - dry) 8. Comfort level is good. 9. Hard braking distance -yet to try-
