I have just had fitted four Toyo Proxes t1-s (215 40 17). The car feels unstable and tends to oversteer.
I have tried altering the tyre pressures - 32 Front 28 Back and 33 Front and Back. The latter seems to have reduced the oversteer, but the turn accuracy is nothing like the previous tyres (P-Zeros 205 45 17). Help!! |
That is just the way the Toyo´s are I am afraid. they are a little soft on the sidewall.. They are a lot cheaper than anything else (at least in holland)

Give them a chance !
They need a few miles under their belt until they feel their best - for mine, about 200 miles. My Toyos are the same size and are much better than P Zeros (which I had before) IMHO. Just wait until it rains.... Thanks Gavin |
Hi
that is true, you have to "run them in". A.o the tyre has to settle around the wheel... rgds dennis |
Do you mean the car tends to under or oversteer?
It is unlikely to be oversteer if the turn-in is 'lees accurate'. Any new tyres take a while to settle in though, as the oils are removed from the surface. I have TOYO's and they are by far the best tyres I've ever had. Stef. |
I have Toyo`s as well. http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/biggrin.gif
Best tyres for the price. I run them @ 33psi front, 31psi Rear, Nice and forgiving tyres. http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/biggrin.gif Should always be nice and easy on new tyres...Or they will BITE! http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/wink.gif |
Anyone out there got any experience of the 215/40x17 T1-S? The P-Zeros on my car are appraoching the end of their useful life and I'm considering alternatives.
Not sure about the Bridgestone S-02 PPs due to the weight & expense! Cheers. Andrew. |
Andrew...
I'm running proxies on my OZ 17's and on my 16" track wheels. I've had proxies since my first scooby and I think they are a fine tyre in both 16 and 17" flavours... Ian |
Had the Toyo's for over 2000 Miles now. They are getting better, but I have yet to find the best pressures. Currently trying 36 front and back.
Stef - Oversteer! Really caught me by surprise. Glad I have been on the Skid Pan!!!!! |
