I just bought a set of Toyo Porxy T1-S's but have yet put them on. How do you guys feel about Toyo's on a C36?

If the price was right give them a shot. Michael seemed to like the set of Toyo's he went through on his 500E. Given the nature of the C36's capabilities, any decent tire should be fun. Just make sure it isn't too spooky in the wet or at the handling limit. Other than that, let us know how they work for ya. Everyone has different thresholds as to what they find objectionable as far as noise or ride but give em a go and let us know what your impressions are.

Hope this helps...Lee

Lee,

I got the Toyo T1-S's last Saturday and they are AWESOME. I had the expedia so-1 and they were ok. I had the Pilot Sx GT and they were ok. But these Toyo's are smoooth, absorbs bumps and really really quiet. Very good in wet weather and handles really really well. Not to mention it has a tire wear rating of 280. I would recommend these over AVS's but they are a bit more pricy. My cost was $1300 CDN for a pair of 225-45-17 and a pair od 245-40-17.
