I've been trying to order a set of Toyo Proxes TR1's and have been informed that they have been improved and are now called Toyo Proxes TR Sport's.
Had then fitted this morning and looking forward to trying them out on track.
I previously has Hankook Evo V12's which I must say were fantastic in the wet & dry. Many track days & ragging and they still achieved nearly 27,000 miles.
am i reading that right, you have got 27,000 miles out of set on tyres???? is that on a scooby?? i will be getting me some of those if that is the case!!!!!

Yes mate 27K miles. Including sprints, track days & up the Pod. Superb tyre.
WOW, i must be doing something wrong with my tyres then!!! i have goodyear assymetricals fitted to the car i bought last august, and when i bought it they had a good 5mm on them, now i didnt notice quick enough that the inside edge is wearing a lot quicker than the outside, and it is looking like they need to be replaced! when i do i will get the tracking checked to stop this happening!
is the inside edge wearing quicker a common thing on scoobys? i know that the tracking must be out, but are they normally set up for a bit of camber?

thanks,
Tracking on all four wheels and setting tyre pressures with an accurate guage
I'm pretty convinced that tyre life depends much on the psi.
I have always had my tyres at 2.0 Br (28 psi) all round.
All this rubbish about track day supervision saying up to 50 psi is required is absolute rubbish. I've have refused to do this and on the same day seen guys do a complete set of tyres.
Why do track instructors recommend such high psi's ???
There is no gain.
Have used T1R on a 944S2 and an RX8 ~ loved their grip and their ability to eliminate tramlining, but was always a little dissapointed that their (relatively) soft sidewalls dulled steering responses a little.
