I don't really know enough to give any handling guides .. but the records I have show

Avon ZV5s .. I hated, and they didn't last well so, as I knew no better

I got Falken 452's, these were slightly better than the Avons but were certainly "not good" so onto :

The Toyo T1's were markedly better by many degrees, even to me, but only lasted 12000 miles ..

All on 17" wheels

Presently have Eagle F1's fitted and no definite answer as yet, as I'm still making small adjustments to the steering box.. Chris will no doubt have a play tomorrow and give his valuable opinion ..

Ooh good shout Enty.

And this is exactly the sort of post we need IMO. Objective, covers the entire life of the tyre, and Is aware of car set up and condition. As most regular members are tbh.


What's not happening is the;

I took my old tyres off and these new ones are much better.

....type of posts. New tyres will obviously be better than new ones, generally speaking.

[feeutfo]

Btw Toyo t1. These are different to Toyo proxy?

And are they budget or midrange?

But please only recommend any tire if your certain that;

There is absolutely no play or wear in the steering and suspension.
The car has been set up to wim spec for full geo.

Sorry Chris, Toyo Proxes T1R to be precise, Midrange I would say, good grippy tyre but not long lasting. On balance I think I would buy the Kuhmo KU31's (if still available) to replace them as the life v grip level is a more acceptable balance for my daily driver. I would also say that they wouldn't be put on the 3.2 as this commands something a little more precise IMHO.

I'll back this one up for a budget option, with the warning that very heavy rain (sort where rivers form on carriageway), they turn to ditchfinders without warning. Never recall tramline issues with them on my tractor.
