Default Toyo Tires

Looking at purchasing a set of Toyo PROXES T1-S, anyone have any opinions/comments on this brand of tire or any others?

a viable competitor to the sO3's in the wet. Not as sticky as the sO2's, nor so3's in the dry. However, if you are going to track them, they will not be as responsive as Tugz found out..

seek them out cheap at steelcase or at tiretrends.com

Great tires, and like someone said earlier, they are considerably lighter (a few pounds each) than s-03's. Something to consider if you're looking to keep the weight down as much as possible when upgrading to larger wheels.

Exactly right! Also, do not hold up to abuse (track or autoX) as well as S03s. Do not tramline as much as S03s. Sidewall not as stiff as S03s. Better street tire than S03s, not as good a dual use (track/street) as S03.
