Toyos are fantastic, I had a set of Proxes T1S on one of my cars before and a set of Proxes S/T on another, both stuck to the road like glue. Much more comfortable ride than Pirelli's offerings but slower turn-in, they may have remedied that with the T1R's by now. I found that the T1S's didn't last very long though, only got about 8000 miles before the minimum wear indicator revealed itself (and I never spun my tires). Again, treadlife might be better with the new model
