It's rear tire time for my 2001 GTS. Getting bald now. I don't want to change wheels. How do you guys like the Toyo Proxes R888R in the stock sizes? I loved my Michelin Pilot SS's but am out of luck on 18's. Tire Rack has the R888R's for $347.50 (335 30 18). I don't drive in the rain and generally don't drive much in the winter.

Do they handle as well as the Michelins? I read some reviews. People like the handling, consider them noisy and they seem to wear quickly.

Thoughts from those of you that have them. Basically a track tire that handles well in dry, which I might like. Not too many other choices.

Thanks,

Paul
