so far i think it is the toyo. the more tread on the ground the more grip
yes, they're T1r's. Only tires I could find in 195/45/14 and I had to order them from California, drive 100+ Kilometres to Buffalo, and take them back to Canada, but it'll be worth it
In my opinion the ride quality/comfort did not change when I switched to this 19" setup compared to the stock 18" Aristos. If anything I think the tires are a little more compliant and comfortable than the Michelins. The Toyo Proxes 4 offer superb handling in the dry and wet, and decent performance in the snow. They are great all season performance tires that have a long tread life.
I run 245/40/17 Michelin Pilot sport cups on 17x8" Et 35 rims with stock springs -> no rubbing
Just installed new tires on our Phaeton. The old Michelins were actually dangerous. For reference, I'm not talking about driving through giant puddles at high speed; every time this happened we were on the freeway. So -- I researched everything out there and settled on the Michelin® Pilot Sport A/S (255/45R18). All I can say is... WOW!!! What a huge difference in performance; the car turns in much better and grips like crazy. These tires should be standard on this car! This tire seems to improve on the factory tire in every area of performance, and is supposed to be superb in the wet as well.
ordered my tires today from onlinetires.com 4 toyo proxes t-1r 215-45-15 under 400 bucks shiped
Luckily Bridgestone has a 30-day test drive program where if you're not happy with the tires for any reason, you can return them for a full refund. I walked into Curry's, told them I didn't like Potenzas and walked out with a set of Michelin MXV$ Plus tires.
To answer the origional question as far as low profile tires. Toyo T1s get them from edge racing that is the cheapest place I checked around and this is wher e I gotr mine for my panasports
I have had the proxes 4 on my 24v 2.8l for 12k miles now. Wear has been ok, would have been better if I had bought a seperate set of wheels/tires for autocross. I have not driven them in the snow yet so no idea how they will do. They do handle rain pretty well, and overall Im happy.
I run Michelin XLT 'all-seaon mud and snow' tires, which are great in rain and ok in light snow, but frankly in real winter-y conditions are not good enough.
