More Tire Questions....
I got a couple questions.....
Im going to be buying some rims soon and im trying to decide on some good tires for them. I think i want to go with toyo proxy 4's or toyo ts-1's. Can anyone tell me about these two tires and maybe give me the differences between them?
I went to town fair tire today and they showed me both but didn't tell me much about them..... the proxy 4's are $145 and the ts-1's are $165.
I know im going to be getting 17's, but what about the thickness (height) of the tire and the tire width? 205,40,17 is what i will probably end up getting but whats the difference between that and 205,50,17?
thanks-

I have a set of proxes fz-4's on my stock wheels.
Fairly quiet while still pretty grippy too. I'd recommend Toyo's.
sure, there are better performing tires available, none really in the same price range.
as for the sizes :

hmm..... seems like im going to just end up getting 205/40/17's. Now i just have to decide on my tires. I dont need the tires to be good in the snow because i'll have my stock rims/tires for that.

I have perelli P zero Neros on my tib.. 205/45/16s... cost under a hundred a tire.. VERY nice set of rubber, quiet and nice and sticky.
Also, www.tirerack.com You can look at what their customer reviews are for each tire you are thinking about.. along with a handy graph giving a simple number (1 to 10) for suck things as noise, durability, grip, wet weather, and the like.
