Anyone here can advise on the above tires? I was introduced by the salesman when I was looking to change my tires.The side of my front tires already Botak so think it is time to change a new set. I was quoted $115 per piece for 15" and the salesman told me I will not regret getting it. I better seek some gurus here to advise before I buy. Please advise if you have use this model before.

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

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...

TOYO claim: The Proxes C1S is TOYO TIRES's new premium radial tire especially designed for premium and luxury sedans. The Proxes C1S excels with its excellent high speed stability as well as a quiet and comfortable ride demanded for such vehicles. The asymmetrical tread pattern features many ground braking technical advancements including Toyo Tire

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?

Just wondering , I think these came with LEXUS IS250/ Mazda3?? size is 205/50/17

Hi all Any suggestions/comments to the above tyres? My current size is 205/65R16 which is pretty limited when come to choices in the market. I'm looking for quietness plus reasonable performance in wet surface condition. All comments are welcome. Thanks.

Guys, Not sure anyone has used Toyo Proxes CT01 before, do give me your feedback if you have experience on this tires, thanks.

need to change my tyres soon .. any bro used this 2 tyres before? Any comment in term of dry, wet performance and comfort ...

For those who are interested in these tyres - this is my review. Long, so for those who do not like details, I suggest you skip this post. History of tyre usage: Pilot Precedas, followed by Yokohama ES-100. This so you know what I'm comparing against. Style of driving: Mildly aggressive. I tend to take corners faster than others. No track days at all, street driving only. Wheel size: 14" My ES100s were wearing to the wear bars already, which prompted me to shop for new tyres. In the 14" sizes, there are not many high performance tyre choices, and I do not want to give up my 14" wheels which I find nice and light. Also: the fact that bigger tyres are always more expensive, and I do not see the point in going bigger. I asked myself what I wanted in new tyres. The ES100s served well; good dry grip and good wet grip for about the first 80% of their estimated 27,000km travelled. However I am able to feel them sliding at dry corners taken at a higher speed. They became quite scary in the wet as they wore down to their wear bars. I locked my tyres twice during the last 1000km of their service. All tyres do that I suppose. They get noisy at about 20,000km, but that was not something I was too concerned about. I'm quite impressed with their hydroplaning-resistant capabilities, but wet grip could be better. So before I changed tyres I asked myself what are the five most important qualities my next tyre should have. Perhaps you should ask yourself too, if you are intending to buy new tyres. With my style of driving, my wheel size and the kind of car I'm using, I decided on these five priorities in order of importance: 1) Wet Grip 2) Weight 3) Dry Grip 4) Comfort 5) Tread Wear Reasons: 1) Wet grip. No matter how good you think your tyres are....everything pretty much comes to the same level once you drive in the wet. No tyre in the world has equal wet and dry grip...all tyres have reduced grip in the wet. I have experienced a 180 turn in wet weather, sliding during ebrake manouveres and the feeling of losing control due to hydroplaning. All experiences were unpleasant, and I was lucky to have not met with an accident. That is why wet grip is my top priority, and will always be, given our tropical climate, my high daily mileage and the ever increasing number of idiots on the road. 2) Weight. I do not have a powerful car, so my priority is to keep my unsprung weight to a minimum, even if the weight savings are less than a kilo per tyre. My car is sensitive to unsprung weight changes and I do not want to lose the handling I am enjoying now if i change to heavier tyres. 3) Dry grip. As mentioned the ES100s had good grip. They were able to take quite hard cornering (Reminder:Not on track,on SG roads only). However I quite dislike the greasy feeling they gave me at times...can be fun sometimes, sliding around and being able to break traction but I prefer to have more dry grip. 4) Comfort. The ES100s were quite harsh especially so during the last 2000-3000km or so of their lives. I usually pump them to 32psi front and 31 back and even with a 60size sidewall, they were quite hard. My Bilsteins are rather stiff shocks, and while stiffness usually aids in cornering, my daily driving route can be uncomfortable. Having harder tyres than the ES100s will definitely be a negative. 5) Tread Wear. Last in my list, since I chance my tyres every two years and less, which is about 30000 or more km. Some tyres wont last that long and I do not want to spend unnecessarily on a fast wearing tyre (which will probably made with a softer rubber compound, redundant for my needs). So my new T1Rs are 195/55 R14s, which gave a slightly wider footprint than the ES100s. I have a soft spot for aggressive looking tyres, and the T1Rs did not disappoint me in the looks department. Comparing with the ES100s, they are slightly softer. This is at about 30psi all around, and I will pump up to 32psi all around and probably report back the results here. But probably the most shocking discovery of these tyres - they are squirmy. I tried some hard cornering and the feeling is like I'm riding on jelly the split moment after I jerked my steering wheel . Examining the tread pattern of the T1Rs , I understood why they were like that-the T1Rs have deep treads and a relatively high void volume....the weight of my car rests on the relatively tall treads. However once this split second squirminess goes away, the tyre stays planted to the ground. I have not driven my car as hard as I did with my ES100s and I will do that after when I feel the tyre has worn its mold compound sufficiently (and probably report here too). I had some chances to drive the tyres through puddles of water about one inch deep - cuts through with very little resistance, and this is with a speed of about 60-70kmh. Impressed. On damp surfaces (damp means no standing water) they are greasy but I attribute that to the mold compound not scrubbed off completely yet. On wet roads (wet means a thin layer of water on surface) they perform well but like I mentioned before, slightly greasy. They are quiet but not dead quiet as some people report them to be. But considering I was from worn ES100s, any tyre will probably be as quiet. Not an issue to me though. Perhaps the most impressive observation was the lighter feeling my driving felt with the T1Rs. Again, I do not know whether it is because of the mold compound. But the car feels slightly lighter overall and I like it. I have not observed my petrol consumption after the change but I doubt it will be of any significance. Another plus from these tyres, they do not crash on road imperfections, something which I encounter daily with my previous ES100s. It feels more comfortable and my journey is more forgiving. Take note that softer tyres will absorb more shocks, stressing your suspension components less. For the record I was also considering the highly recommended Hankook RS2s, but the RS2s are heavier, harder and although they drive well in the rain, from user reports I have read, T1Rs win over the RS2s in this department. The RS2s were also cheaper than the T1Rs but my research points that the T1Rs last longer. So if your priorities for your next tyre are similar to mine, I recommend these Made in Japan tyres over other tyres. Oh and I really think the tread looks nice, did I mention that before? N

Anyone had this tyre installed? Any idea if compare against the F1 GSD3? www.toyo.com www.toyo.com.au

[inline toyo.gif] [inline proxes_t1s.gif] Anybody know if this tyre is available locally? Anybody tried it? Heard some good things overseas ... Need some feedback and if there's a dealer for it. Thanks!
