Thinkin about replacing my shagged Michelins with a set of toyo proxes.

Good idea or bad?

Should i just get another pair of Michelins?

I generally get around 8 months. Which for me is about 8,000 miles.

BF goodrich... they're fairly good...

I've had toyos, they lasted about 4k miles. I will never be having them again.

Same with Avons.

Continentals are VERY good, Michelin are definitely worth the extra over the Toyos, as are Pirelli, Firestone, Dunlop.

Rainsports are apparently VERY good, but I've not had them on this car long enough to judge.
