So what's the consensus on this one.. I'm really tempted to get away from Michelin and use Toyo Proxis T1-S'...

I hear they are pretty good on the occasional track day and top notch on road (even in the wet).

I am going to be putting new tyres on my car within the next couple of weeks and have been considering Toyos. A friend of mine, who drives an Alfa 154, used to swear by Pirellis until he was persuaded to try Toyo Proxis. He said the grip in the dry is brilliant and in the wet loads better than any other tyres he has had. Don't know how they compaire to Michelins. The only downside he has found is that they wear quite quickly.

I too have heard good things and I'm hardly impressed with Michelin PSs.. not sure worth trying their pS2s first but Toyo sounds a go-er and such a good price for that kind of quality.

Cheers
