I am intrigued by Zippy's responses (nice name by the way...)
I have run Toyo Proxes T1-S on my old moderately tuned early WRX, and they were fabulous. Superb wet weather traction, wonderful progressive breakaway in all conditions, not much noise etc etc. Only concern was the ludicrous wear rate - about 8k miles on the Scoob (with a swap front to back halfway through), and about 6k on a pair of fronts on my standard '97 9000 Aero.
I now run a set of F1 GSD3s, and in all honesty, I can't tell a great deal of difference from the Toyos, although I would argue that the F1s are a little more vague on the straight ahead at motorway speeds than the Toyos - I will be trying some different pressures next week. They are both, however, fabulous tyres.
My priority in a powerful front driver will alwasy be wet weather traction, and the Toyos and F1s are both superb. That's why TVR swapped to Toyos from Bridge SO-2 - for traction, but if they have swapped again, I don't know about it. Imagine the wear rate in a 5ltre Griff!!
Anyway, hello from me, and expect to hear more of my opinions...
