Well it's almost time for a new rear tire and I'm going to go to the darkside. My question is which Toyo would you suggest as I work at the Toyo plant hear in Ga. Any help with size and modle tire will be appreciated. Thanks in advance. Cool

the toyo proxes T1R is what I had on, also misfit and therapist had it before me

I dont run it now but that is no reflection on the tire but on my ability to be comfortable    As an urban assault tire it was fine  I couldnt handle it in the twisties to my satisfaction

i dont have a toyo, but i will tell you that reading the literature from those that went to a CT, really helped me know what to expect. i will say that you will feel everything at low speeds, you will have to man-handle it into the corners. you will see it want to straighten itelf out of a corner on accel. but once you get used to it, you'll love it.

I run the Toyo Proxes TPT in 205/65HR16.  I love it.  I wanted a 65 series to bring the rpms down.  I only had to cut the nut cages.  Before I hooked the shocks back up and put Sandman back on the ground, I pushed the ct and swingarm as far up in the fender as I could to check for interference.  There wasn't any.
