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' ![]() 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 ![]() -------------------- JDM Powerplant installed, BPU coming very soon!

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!
