That's right, i Had toyo proxes on my e39.. Im going to take a look. I was very satisfied with them. Barely any road noise, especially considering that they were low pro's. Thanks for the lil reminder... looks like I already forgot her. :'(

The T1-R is supposed to have the insane grip of the T1-S, but with stronger sidewalls, so the turn-in is as sharp as the Pilot Sports. Also, they are said to have even -less- road noise, and improved wet performance compared to the T1-S, which I thought were better in these aspects than the Pilot Sports I was replacing.


The tuning shop that recommended them over my Pilot Sports (the hi-performance ones) said that they had better grip and softer compound than the Michelins. All the 911 owners who have their cars serviced there won't drive anything -but- the Toyos. They were the grippiest tires I had ever run. They were -insane-.

speaking of style 128 wheels, i really would like to know if the offset (not the size) of the 21" version fits the 5. if it's not too positive or too negative and fits perfect, i think i would've done that instead of my iforged.

FInally received my Style 128 wheels.?

19" x 8" FRONT
19" x 9.5" REAR

Can anyone suggest the best "non-runflat" tires and experiences with them?


---------------------------------------------------
By the way, this is officially the first of the many things I intend to do to my new baby which is currently in the paint shop.? The only reason I am ordering them now is to keep me patiently waiting and sane...? Hope to hear from you guys!? Thanks so much!?

NES (or anyone), is there any problem with the AWD and having different front and back wheels. my dealer thought it might throw something off, ?calibration or something
i would really like to know if it is ok because i was looking to change mine too!

If you have the fund, go and get the michelin PS2. They are the one of the best tires..
