When I got the car it had 2 Michalin Virage tyres from Japan on the rear and 2 Continental something or others on the front. The car was a nightmare in the wet and to some extent very twitchy in the dry.
While the Michalins are used in the Jap touring car circuit I would strongly recomend anyone still running them to BIN them asap.
I was told these tyres were the best thing going and so to aid traction that my GTS didnt seem to have I was going to change to a GTR.
Due to financial considerations (e.g. no toy money left
) I opted to change tyres not change car.
I put Toyo Proxes T1 s on all 4 corners. What a difference Dry weather twitchynes is gone and in the wet it behaves like it did in the dry with my old tyres on!!!
Anyway Toyo Proxes get my vote now. What a diference.
Alas now I would appear to have sheered my 2 outer exhaust manifold bolds and blown the gasket to bits
I wonder if thats due to driving a bit harder now
