I have always liked the Proxes, but I do lower the pressures a little for wet weather driving.

I agree with dougster, a excellent tyre dry and wet, had them on my 306 rallye and now on my uk300 with no problems

well its weird for me just going round the same corners at say 40mph as i do in the dry it alll feels alot more unstable, all i have is T1-S on 17" with standard suspension, oh and the car is my95 WRX import!

any ideas or am i just being a bit pussy?

cheers

Get your geometry checked out mate. The best tyres in the world will handle like crap if your wheels are all pointing in diifferent directions

Are they just new ? , thay can take a good few miles to take the greasy film off them. Had toyo's, Falkens and Goodyear F1g on mine and I have to say that Toyo and Goodyear are very good in both wet and dry , F1's taking it in the wet. I felt that initial turn in felt vague with the Toyo but was certainly stable enough.

cheers for the replys guys, i agree with skunk that the geometry etc probably needs updating it also feels unstable on the straights in the dry at 90mph - geometry related?

and thats motorway driving!

cheers in advance

I find with my proxies I get a bit more understeer in the wet than I should, but that might just be me.
