I have the Toyo Proxy T1's 235-45-17 & love them. They also make them in the stock size as well.

What are the Toyos rated at? What's the ride like? Road noise? I personally hate it when I floor it and my tires go SPIIIIIIINNING.

Ok, here is what I know.

High Performance (3 season):

Toyo T1-S Proxy or Bridgeston S03 Pole Position -- debatable

High Performance (4 season - which means snow):

Michelin Pilot Sport A/S -- bar none

High Performance (Best Value):

Kuhmo Ecsta Supra

There are different threads on here than answer other questions, but i'll try to sum it up

Generally you want 225/45, 215/50 (stock), 225/50, or 235/45. The tired above are all Z rated as far as I know, the Michelin A/S might be V rated, but you arent going to break 150. Load rating: 93 is stock, the toyo in 235 has 97, which is excellent. I'm running kuhmos in 225 at 91, no problems.

anything else?
