Hey Boo Boo
Did you say you could get a deal on Toyo Proxies T1-S? I think the best price I saw was about $206/tire plus $45 shipping.
My rears have almost 19k mi and need to be swapped out soon. The fronts seem okay, must be the racing.

I dug this up:
1. Toyo Proxies T1-S Ultra Performance
ZR speed-rated
Treadwear 280
Traction AA
Temperature A
Price (Seffects.com) Front: 225/40ZR18 $205.99 - Rear: 245/45ZR/18 $234.99 - Replace 4: $882
2. Bridgestone Potenza S-03 Pole Position
YR speed-rated
Treadwear 220
Traction AA
Temperature A
Price (Tire rack) Front: 225/45YR18 $187 - Rear: 245/45YR18 $193 - Replace 4: $760
3. Michelin Pilot Sport
ZR speed-rated front 225/YR speed-rated rear
Treadwear 220
Traction AA
Temperature A
Price (Tire rack) Front: 225/45ZR18 $251 - Rear: 245/45YR18 245/45/18 $267 - Replace 4: $1,036
So far, from everything I've read, Toyo Proxies T1-S are the best performers and best value. Z ratings all around and a much higher tread life with a reasonable price (just $122 more than the S-03) makes the Toyos a clear winner. There may however, be a problem fitting the fronts as I seem to only find 40s instead of 45s.
For about $275 less than the Michelin Pilot Sport, a set of four Potenza S-03 is a better deal than the Michelins even considering the Michelins have a Z front rating.
I've used Proxies before and their treadlife is extraordinary. Assuming I can find the right front size, I'm going with the T1-S

yeah but the treadwear aint too great(could bemuch worse for the performance value they give) especially because of the whole no tire rotating.
btw my friend might sell his in the near future if your interested.

By the way Dan, they are a whole lot cheaper than the prices you got.
