Toyo Proxies have a good reputation (I mean, I've heard of them so they must be reasonably good).

From what I recall they are very soft and wear pretty fast compared to other performance tyres.

If your on a budget then I can't recommend Falken 524's enough, they are really good for the money.

Hope that helps... I'd also suggest if no-one else posts go and check your cars owners club for their recommended tyre for your particular vehicle. 8-)

the parada's are far superior in the dry!

i would have them over the toyo's,
toyo's are just middle of the road tyres,

yoko parada's,
hankook v12 evo's,
goodyear eagle f1s
and falken 452's

are what i recommend :)

Ahh Goodyear Eagle F1's are another tyre that I've heard about as being a good one to have due to being soft and grippy.

Some good suggestions there, as I said above, if I've heard of a type of tyre it must be well known as being good because I'm not entirely knowledgeable about this kind of thing. 8-)

Goodyear Eagle F1's, I think I am right in saying are rated slightly higher than Falken 452's
Somewhere on the Internet I saw a report that the Goodyear Eagles had better wet road holding

Lots of people rate Yokos

I am halfway through a set of Falken which has been 5000 miles of very hard driving

Getting the right size always seems to be the problem
