[s-cars] Toyo Tires Comparisons

[DOUGLAS LANDAETA]

Aaron,

There's a special try 'em for 500 mile deal for free on the tires you
are looking at. check website (toyo.com?).
I thnik the 255s are fairly wide, I have a few hundred miles on
245/45/VR16-94W Proxes T1s - they feel good, excellent road feel
transfer to my hands. I'd try the TPTs if I were you, but a bit wider -
say 225? waddainoanywho -- my .02
