Default Help with tyre ratings

Help please guys.

I'm going to replace the proxies I've currently got fitted on my newage widetrack.

I want to go to re070's all round but there are a couple of different ratings.

Are these the correct ones?

Yes, those are what I have on my Hawk Spec D.

Difference is night and day between those and the Toyos. I couldn't wait to get the Toyos off and go back to RE070 all round.

90W is what mine are. So good for the newage, if you've not tried them before, the RE070's will tramline a bit, but that's something I see as part of the Impreza experience.

Much more feedback than Toyo Proxes. Stickier, and even better in this warmer weather.

Can hum at 80mph, but only slightly, and anyways, who cares!!

And yet, I'd NEVER go back to Bridgestones on my classic.

Too hard, not grippy and tramlined too much.

On my third set of Proxes now, but dunno what I'll get next time, unless Proxes become easier to get.
