Hey guys,
Just wanting to know if some of you have tried any of these tires and what your opinions are. I'm currently on 205-55-16 stock tires w/ my Impreza...i'm going to 205-50-16.
Here are the brands:
Toyo proxes T1-S
Bridgestone RE730
Bridgestone S-02 or S-03s (pricey, really pricey)
I'm using these for AutoX and the occasional Track Days.

Of the 3 I've heard that the T1-s are the best grip for street. The sidewalls are somewhat softer though, so transient response is not the best - especailly for autocross.
Have you looked into the Azenis? I hear that is by far the best value for dollar - better grip than the T1-s. Super stiff sidewall. A littel heavier but the grip overly compensates that flaw. |

I've heard of them, but i don't know WHERE in Cad we can get them. They are sold across the border from what i hear.

I have nothing bad to say about my T1-S tires. Very very good traction. I would probably rip the tires off the wheels before I start skidding on heavy cornering.
They also have a pretty good useful life.
But I never tried Bridgestone or the Azenis mentioned above, so I can't really compare.

I'm running Toyo T1-Ss right now. Awesome tire.
I really like the Michelin Pilot Sports as well. |

I dont think you can get Azenis in town. The closest is mailorder through www.tiretrends.com and there is another place in Ottawa, but I can't think of thier name.
The next step is R-compund, but depending on the size you are looking for, that might make the decision that much easier. |
