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.
ordered my tires today from onlinetires.com 4 toyo proxes t-1r 215-45-15 under 400 bucks shiped
I have the Pirelli Nero M&S. A very good tire in all regards. Quiet, smooth, decent ride, wet and dry capabilities, and they last a long time compared to MXes or Azenis.
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'll admit that the conjecture about the P Zero Neros had me a little bit worried, too. The only thing different is that I also had mine siped by the installer. We had our first real snow last week (4-6" of heavy, slushy stuff) and the Pirelli's were great! Lots of traction. Very controllable. I'm sure that dedicated snow tires would be better, but I'm very pleased so far.
I had the Toyo FZR's (I think) on my all-season 1.8T. Not the best by any stretch, but not too shabby in the muck either. Got me through 2 winters and only 1 time was I sweatin' with grip problems.
The Factory 18" tire is the Pirelli P6, not rated so well either but not anything as bad as those Goodyears.
I got me a set of Pirelli PZero Nero M&S tires in March, reading all the good things about them. Right after I got them put on, they seemed out of balance. I took them back and had them rebalanced, and they still acted up. Annoyed, I just let it slide. But today I took it back to the shop and told them to rebalance them. They took a look and said that they had factory defects (\"excessive wheel hop\") and couldn't be balanced. They suggested I contact TireRack. I took it to another shop and had them balance the wheels, thinking that the other shop just might have been having problems with their machine. They balanced them, but the jitter is still there in the steering wheel, exactly at 65 mph and above. Someone mentioned that the tires have a deeper tread, and I should just wear them down a bit and see if it helps. They've only got 2,500 miles on them, but it's really annoying at highway speeds constantly feeling that jitter.
