Default Shock Horror Tyres

OK opinions on tyres from you guys, gonna order 4 tyres, looking for a definitive answer as to what tyres to buy, Toyo Proxes T1 94W or Goodyear Eagle GS D3 91Y ? Both about the same price , IIRC the proxes are about £20 cheaper supplied.
One more thing, whats the difference appart from the speed rating to the Goodyear GS D3 94W XL tyres to the 91Y ?

Defo the Goodyear F1's...

In the dry Toyo are about as good as the F1's, but as soon as it rains.. They are pretty poor IMO!!

The Goodyears are just as good in the wet as they are in the dry!!

Cheers,
Grant

Grant is spot on although the Proxes are a more progressive tyre (too progressive IMHO )

Goodyears will feather very early on outer edges and one track day will kill them but by far the better tyre
