I went out this afternoon for a quick blast to heat up the oil before changing it, so I got the chance to test the grip of my new tyres in the dry.
My conclusion is that they are the dog's danglies. Far better than the Michelin Pilot Sports I used to have.
Now that I've taken the surface off them, I can try their wet grip too. I'm sure it won't be long before it rains again...

Re: Toyo Proxes T1-S
Proxes rock in the wet. I used to run Bridgestones Expedias Pole Positions which knock spots off the Toyos in the dry, but in the wet the Toyos rule. And a lot cheaper too. Don't last so long though [img]images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]
Re: Toyo Proxes T1-S
Ended up with Goodyear F1's 235x35x19 on my new wheels. Tried for Toyo's but none left???
Anyway, they seem to work OK ..but only tried in the dry up to now!!

Re: Toyo Proxes T1-S
If you don't mind me asking what was the cost of your F1's? I am running on Yokahama's at the moment, they seem to have plenty of grip, wet or dry, but i don't think they will have long for this world [img]images/graemlins/boohoo.gif[/img]
Not easy to say.... because they were part of a wheel tyre package. I believe I got them at cost judging by the final price.
Not much help I know...sorry
