I must say the regals holds good, in the wet I havn't had problems unless I boost then I loose traction easily, but I think all tires will loose traction in the wet under boost....

I have been doing some research on the ratings of the toyo proxes T1R's and the toyo proxes 4's.....

To my surprise the price and ratings are better for the proxes 4 than for the proxes T1R.

DONT USE THE PROXES 4!!!!!

I did the same thing and researched it, went out and bought the Proxes 4 and they are rubbish. They are more for lighter cars so they roll alot on the sidewalls. I drove for 300km then took them back and got the T1R's. If I had stayed with the Proxes I wouldnt have an sx anymore, I would of crashed and died.

It seems it is the same as everything else, there is 2000 opinions about everything and you still don't know what is best, the ratings rate proxes 4 better but in the end I stiil don't know whats best....

I would touch the proxes with a powerful sx again. I tried everything to get them to handle better and nothing, tyre pressures from 1 bar to 3.8bar.
