I have heard real good things about the Toyo Proxes T1-S....They have the same tread pattern as the goodyear F1's and they are about $30 cheaper per tire.

I have had mine on my car for about 5 months (5kmiles) they were the best thing I did for my driving habits. I havent driven enough to tell you how they wear, but they do grab the dry road well and dont do to bad in the rain.HOWEVER DO NOT drive them in the snow they SUCK LOL
I have 315's on the back and 275's up front. I will however be going to 335's on the rear when I buy new ones.

I've got Fusion 275s in the rear. They are okay, but I'm still spinning in 3rd gear WOT at 75mph.

I'm planning to go to Nitto 315 drag radials when these wear out. They fit on a 9" wheel, and get 10k miles driven hard, 15k if you don't smoke em that often.

The Nitto is only 170$ each installed.

I'm supposed to have around 650 at the flywheel. It's being dialed in right now, hoping for 500+ at the wheels... through an Automatic tranny.

I know, why build that much power on a Slowmatic?... I have to sit in an hour of rush-hour traffic every day.... each way.
