Tire Toyo Proxes T1R vs Bridgestone Potenza RE050A
Hello,
I just replaced my rear tires on my G35 Coupe, I have the OEM 19'' wheel and the tire size is stock. I had Bridgestone Potenza RE050A at four corners, but for the rear I changed for Toyo Proxes T1R and now I'm little bit confused with the handling of the car. I feel the rear end of the car swinging in curve at high speed, I see there 2 possible causes :
1. I don't have the same tire model on the front and on the rear so the reaction of the front vs the rear is not the same which makes the driving hazardous.
2. The Toyo tires have some softer sidewalls wich makes the car moving in the lateral direction even if the tire thread is hooked to the road.
I don't like the feeling I actually have at high speed in curves so I ask myself should I go back to the Bridgestone at the rear or change the front for Toyo ?
Is anybody experienced both tires Bridgestone and Toyo ?
What is the main difference about the handling for these tires ?
Thanks for your comments.
