Are these any good?

Toyo Proxes T1R's

Thanks for info

aapriadi · 08-17-2006, 11:16 PM

never had them but i heard plenty of good reviews for em
toyos are definitely worth it

tl_boy · 08-17-2006, 11:18 PM

i have them, but don't have experience, but yeah, the reviews are good. check out 1010tires.com.

06E90Rostik · 08-17-2006, 11:25 PM

Thanks guys, I want to buy some new wheels and they have TOYOs as an extra option with wheels. They want an additional $1K for them.

tl_boy · 08-18-2006, 08:35 AM

1k as an upgrade from some other tires,or 1k for Toyos?

1k for Toyo's is okay I think. But not if its an upgrade from another tire.

edit: and one suggestion: they are not very good at protecting the lip of the rims. Consider getting a plus size in width to make up for this. For example, I have 235's in front, but they do not cover my wheel very well. I have 275's in back and they cover them perfectly.

been using them for 3 months...no complaints, but I don't have much experience to compare it too

1k is too much. I got it for $848 USD includes everything and 6% sales tax.

Have no experience with T1R's on an E90, but have had these on my MINI since spring (they replaced the dreaded runflats) and they have been excellent in wet and dry conditions.
Would not hesitate to try these on my impending E90. (next year)
Oh, and mine came with a beefy rim protector band as well.

Lucid4000 · 08-18-2006, 08:56 PM

The toyo's are great tires. They actually get better with use. once the rubber soften's up alittle the grip is great.

ADHD · 08-18-2006, 08:59 PM

Im getting the Proxy 4's they should do quite well

MIKEYMIKE · 08-19-2006, 05:26 PM

Toyo's are excellent tires...the T1R is a very popular tire in general.

$1k is too much for 19's. You should be paying around $850.

No Hankooks? lol, just F'n with you man. Trust me, you're gonna love the Toyo's..I'm glad you're switching over to them.

GregL · 08-22-2006, 02:43 PM

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

RaptorKTM · 08-22-2006, 02:46 PM

I have the T1R and these babies really impress me. i mean they are so smooth on the freeway i mean the car is silent, but once you get on those turns man they stick

BIGWILL · 08-23-2006, 06:47 PM

I love mine nice and quiet

Hunter399 · 08-23-2006, 07:14 PM

they are nice

i love my eagles though...

mskvarenina · 08-24-2006, 06:40 AM

So there's no problem putting a regular (non run flat) tire onto stock rims? What about the tire pressure monitor, does this continue to work properly?

medrep · 08-24-2006, 10:29 AM

My father now uses them on his 5 series, which originally had RFT. He has also literally just had them fitted for all corners of the mothers Audi TT. He swears by them. Pointless asking my mother for her opinion, no offense mum!

Never personally tried them myself, but boy do they have an awesome looking tread pattern!
