Default Eagle f1's or Toyo Proxes

I have 2 sets of mk6 rs2000 wheels. I set has 2 near new eagle f1 tyres and the other set has 2 near new toxo proxes on them. I am going to make up a complete set by buying 2 new tyres which would you go for the toyos or goodyears ?

Just bought two Toyo T1 Sports for the back of my Cosworth. Cannot see me going back to F1's after the sidewall issue I had. I still have a refund at home for one of the tyres.

I have Bridgstones on the front of our 330i and they are good, grip well etc. No idea on price though as they came with the car.

proxes. f1's kept losing their shape with me and weren't as good as proxes in the wet.

Have had Toyo Proxy's on a few high powered cars, and they've always been good for me. They are good in the dry, and in the wet. Yokohama S-Drives are good tyres though for similar money...

Which Toyo Proxes are we talking about. PX4's I found to be awful, T1 Sport ok but the T1R I love to bits and is far better than the Continental Sport Contacts I was using. Been running them on my A4 for about 3 years now and have just put another pair on it today. They do seem to be getting thin on the ground now though

Never used the Eagle F1 but for every good story I hear there seems to be a bad one. Couple of friends have had issues with them which I was surprised at but one could very well have been down to driver neglect rather than a fault with the tyre
