Chris .. Toyo Proxes and Toyo T1 are the same ... Full name is actually  Toyo Proxes T1R

[dbug]

Yet another tyre post 

But -

Accelera Alphas - 16"
Runway Enduro - 16"
Falken 452 - 16"

What happened to the Falken 452?  I found them ok and would recommend them - or do you particularly exclude them.  Remember 2 Varifications or verifications to most people.

I wouldn't recommend the Falkens .. they wore well granted, but they wandered all over the place, especially when towing.

Now if the sidewalls didn't like the extra loads the van imparts when the wind moves it I don't know, but I found them very unstable.

+1 for the 16" Runways based on 100k

Ok but they worked fine for me (but I didn't tow a pikey van).  They should be included if another OOFer recommends them

Chris/entwood, if you two are meeting tomorrow I would like to hear your feedback on the Eagle F1. Should be run in by now.

Chris/entwood, if you two are meeting tomorrow I would like to hear your feedback on the Eagle F1. Should be run in by now. 

They've done about 500 miles, but a lot of that on ice/slush/rain/generally poor weather, so I've not been pushing them at all. I still have a small problem with the steering box setup which is making the selfcentreing "not quite right" .. another 1/8 of a turn tomorrow...

What I can say is they are quiet, seem to move water well (I've driven through enough of it !!) and on 2 occasions when idiots have forced me too, the stopping distances have been very good, on one I was very surprised the ABS didn't go daft .. but they stopped very well.

Chris is going to have a try tomorrow, to see what he thinks of the steering box, the tyres, and the before and after effects of the poly-bushes.

As he knows a lot more than me we should be able to give some comparative opinions !!

Goodyear eagle f1

Toyo proxy t1r

Nexen CP461                    OE 16"

TheBoy are you happy to recommend the Nexen to members?

With the (very) wet weather issues mentioned. Although it sounds like the Enduros are now the budget of choice for OOFers, esp with Nexen repositioning themselves as mid range.

[feeutfo]

The basis of this is minimal tramlining. Grip level as per group.

MUST BE VARIFIED BY TWO DIFFERENT MEMBERS


These tyres have been tested or owned ( which ever ) by Chrisgixer Taxi Al and TheBoy,vxlv6 and Entwood so far.

Premium
Continental Sc3 mo           18' 8j  (also has more rim protection)
continental Sc3 generic       Oe 17"
Dunlop sport maxx TT.        Oe 17"


Mid range
Kumho ku31 oe17"
Pirelli p6000. Oe17"

Budget
Runway Enduro oe17" and 16"  (priced as budget, mid range quality )
Accelera Alphas  oe 16"
Toyo proxy t1r
Nexen CP461                    OE 16" (caution in standing water)

[feeutfo]

Ok I guess we try and get these in the correct groups to start with? Is Nexen in the right group btw?

Then when we're happy, separate the groups and discuss each tyre with some notes on first hand experiences. Maybe if we can keep it factual enough and it makes sense we could pin it to gen car chat or a guide or sumat. See how it goes.

Can you also try different pressures for the same tyre starting at 29 psi till 36 psi..

[feeutfo]

Goodyear eagle f1.


driven today. Standard elite on 17"

No tram lining. 1 correction caused by strong wind gust.

Entwood when you get home can you check tyre pressures are ok, I'm sure they are, we can then add them to the list.

Quiet too.

Impressive for directional stability. Grip level not tested.

good news.. but I bet if you increase the size to 18 and over 235 width it will tramline..
 
and if it still doesnt tramline, lower the car a bit sure it will..
 
or drop their pressures

Cem I've asked to keep this thread factual. Feel free to start another thread.

Thankyou.

Presures checked for you Chris

Front 32 psi Rear 34 psi - what I always use when "solo" ... 2 psi above the "book" but I find that more suitable.

many thanks for your work today
