A question? Currently on my 2005 E55 I am running Toyo's ProxesT1-S. The 55 has 275/ 19" 9.5/ R, 245s 19" 8.5/ F. These Toyos have to be the loudest tire on the planet. The tires have about 5000+ miles on them and when the car turns 10,000 miles the Toyos are history. Any suggestions about the quietest tire for the FAB E55?


Thanks,

Al E

Happy E55 motoring

Al E - Do not have personal experience with these tires, however most of the people, on this board, that use them, rave about them. Say they are quiet, stick well in corners, turn-in well, and reduce ESP usage. Below is a thread that has more info.

PS2 for a quiet, grippy and comfortable ride!

after the contis at 17k miles with the last five being really noisy the ps2 have been great for the last 3k and seem to have a softer ride but better handling.

Thanks for your help. Got the Michelin Pilot Sport 2 (PS2) mounted on my E55 this morning. What a difference in sound and ride the Pilots have made. Anyone need four Toyos for their 55(just kidding).. Again, thanks for your help.

GoodYear Eagle F1's are great tires too. I replaced the Conti's on my S Type R with a set of Eagle F1's and it was night and day; they were grippier, quieter, and all around far hardier than the crapola Continentals, which shredded like cheddar. And there's something to be said for the cool-looking "v" directional treads, especially on the fat back wheels.

The other thing, The good year's run a little less expensive than the PS2's.

I used to love Goodyears and although I have no experience with Eagel F1s GY in general get very hard and side wall gets stiff as the miles go by. I switched to PS on my Vette years ago and have been very pleased. As far as what tires to use on the E55 I think it's a no brainer. PS2s rule.
