I've had 3 different tyres on the car
With 3S-GE: 215/45/17 Avon ZZ3: Last quiet a bit (20k miles) and had good overall grip. With 3S-GTE: 225/35/18 Toyo Proxes T1-R: The tyres are pretty soft compound and worn after 8000 miles. But this set was only used in the City and only a few (cruising) miles on the Highway. And I'm always in 'Race Mode'  Best grip tyre I've had. Cornering is great and tyres never squeek. Only disklike is the 35 wall therefore the next set will be a 225/40/18.Since the Goodyears are now in the back. My 'rear set' Toyo's are now in front and I've done about 12k miles with them and probably do another 5-6 with them. 225/40/18 Goodyear Eagle GS-D3: Because the local tyre company somehow couldn't deliver the Toyo's in 40 sidewall I ordered the Goodyears. They where compared to the Proxes in many ways by other people who had them. Boy I was wrong. Traction and cornering is a lot worse with these tyres. These went into the back and will stay there untill there fully worn and I will then replace them with the same size Toyo's But all considered: I wish I never got 18". Tyre's are more expensive, ride is worse and overall grip/performance could be better with 17". Therefor I'm considering purchasing either: C-one SA70 rims: 17x8J ET32 Work CR Kai Bronze rims (middle taper): 17x8.5J ET38 But this will not be done untill this tyre set is worn and I finally made up my mind

215/40R-17 and I can't wait to replace them. Hate 'em. I will be following above advice and going with 225/45-17 at the end of the summer.

winter -> 195/60 R15
summer -> probably 205/50 R16 the streets in Prague, CZ (Europe) are not so good as i want them to be, so choosing 17" rims would result in bumpy and hard ride, the suspension will also suffer a lot wider tyres are also causing loss of acceleration i would rather like to buy some lightweight rims, but i cannot find this important information in the rims description  any suggestion where to look for lightweight rims please? -------------------- Toyota Celica, ST202, '97

235 35 18
i got 18's for the look not performace (7a woo hoo) toyo t1r's are great tires for the money and ive had them on a few other cars that actually could get out of their own way and i love them. i have abotu 10k on my set now and have about 60-70% tread left on them from eye balling it, wanna say reads 6 on teh tires gauge (new was like 8 i think) any kind of perfomance dont go with 18's, but the wider wheel is awesome in the rain =) -------------------- you know why they put sheep at the edge of a cliff.... that way they push back!
