P7000s.. worst tires ever..

pieces of ****..


earlier today on my way to work, i missed the turn into my work so i had to pull a u-turn up ahead, and since i was in a rush i thought i'd be able to pull a hard quick left u-turn but nooo, my rear had to break lose and i fishtailed on a 2 lane road thank god there were no cops around and the traffic behind me were nice enuff to slow down, but they did give me this "WTF" look.

Did you get that on video? :p

P7000s definitely do not belong on an AMG.

I guess I dont have to say anything more to support your comment, you know my take on P7000 ever since the first day you installed them. And perhaps you should know what tires that I would recommend you to get, right??!!

That would be the Proxes T-1S; great handling and one aggressive tread pattern.

Toyo Proxes T1-S is the best performance tire money can buy for a street car (without using R-compound tires). I'm on my 3rd set and I love 'em.

Toyo is about to replace the T1-S with the Proxes 4. It has a completely different tread pattern. Hopefully it will be at least as good as the T1-S.

Actually, this is not true. Proxes 4 is not a replacement of T1-S. Rather, it is a replacement of FZ-4, the ultra-high performance all-season tire.

As far as I know, T1-S will have a totally re-designed tread coming out in 2005.
