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!!

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

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.

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!

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...

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!!!!!
