INFORMATION:
I HAVE CURRENTLY 18X9 225/40/18 KUHMO TIRES ON MY WRX WITH EIBACH SPRINGS. HANDLES PRETTY DARN GOOD, THE TIRES CAN BE INDUCED INTO A SLIDING MOTION. ANYONE HAS EXPERIENCE WITH THE TOYO PROXES IN THE SIMILIAR SETUP I WOULD BEEN GRATEFUL FOR A DETAILED CRITUE OF HOW GOOD THE TOYO PROXES ARE. PLEASE INDICATE SIZE, PRICE, AND LOCATION OF PURCHASE. THANKS IN ADVANCE.........

 

I have Toyo T1-S 215/45 17's on my car.
The car handles pretty darn good. If I try, the tires can be induced into a sliding motion.
Hope this helps.

 

The Toyo T1-S (215/45 17) are my summer tire. They have amazing grip and performance on wet and dry.

I've never drifted them though.

 

I have used up a set of T1-S tires on my REX. I have 225/45 R17s with a full STi setup (mounts, struts/springs, lateral/trailing/end links and sway bars) and they are very noisy. So noisy that I will swap out the stock rims when I am going on a road trip. Turn-in is good, they don't wander on the interstate, but they do ride stiff. They endured an entire season of Auto-X and about 10K miles of driving. The grip is excellent, they break away in a very predictable manor, I have recovered from more than a few sideways turns. Once even at the end of a slalom I nearly spun the car round but was able to catch it and still made the next set of cones. They only make noise when they're pushed really hard at high slip angles. I've only heard squealing on concrete. Wet weather performance is outstanding until they start to show allot of wear. The less tread they have the better they stick, but the worse they do in the wet (par for the course with any tire).

I also have a set on my Audi, and they work even better(smoother, quieter) on a heavier car. I will buy them again for the Audi, but am looking for a R-compound tire for the REX.
