RE: Tire options for 16" wheels...

[Alex Ting <alext@nu2u.net>]

I've got the P-Zeros myself in 205-45-16, and they
are considerable dry handling tires, while only being
mid-pack in the wet.  I think for all around wet/dry 
high end performance, the best I have ever had would be 
the Michelin Pilots, and I've tried a LOT of tires
(having worked in several tire shops).

btw, my p-zeros were $125 ea......

Allow me to speculate and say the Toyo T1-S will probably outperform the
P-Zero in the wet.  I've NEVER seen another sport tire that has the mind
boggling, awesome wet traction of the T1-S.

I agree about the FZ4's.  I'd never buy them no matter how cheap!  ;)

Simply said the Toyo T1-S is the best street tire on the market second only
to the P-Zero. Hands down nothing sticks better than these tires, I can hit
standing water mid turn at 60+mph and all I feel is the splash. I also autox
on these tires and three people who have ridden with me while racing in the
rain have already bought themselves a set. I paid 210 a tire almost a year
ago for 205/40/ZR17s. I drive 70 miles a day on them and have no complaints.

A word of caution, the Toyo FZ4's are complete and utter shit. I dont know a
single person running them that likes them. They also have the nasty habit
of cracking around the sidewalls.
