Tire Model

OK I'm convinced I'm going over to the DARKSIDE, I have just one question? Toyo Proxes seem to be the prime choice, thinking of going to a 205/60/16. What paticular model is the best in this tire for performance? Do I have to remove the nutcage to accomodate this tie?

No idea on the particular model, but for a 60 I think the nutcage modification is going to be a must. Hope that helps.

I run a soft compound tire Yokohama ADVAN A048. Its got a rounded profile and with the 205-55-16 you dont have to modify the nuts. Pretty darn sticky. Soft like a bike tire.

Posted this on an older thread ... here I go again ...

The Bridgestone Potenza G 009, 205 60R/16 is a very tight fit on my Standard 2002. About a playing cards thickness or less between the tire and the shaft. Good ride at 36psi. After a little ride and playing with the rear shock settings, did the Nut cage mod. Now it's all good - in the corners and rain.
