Default Are Toyo Proxes T1-S available to fit Stock 18" wheels? -

I can't find a size listing anywhere for these tires. Do they come in the stock 245/45R18 and 225/45R18 sizes? Where's the best place to buy these tires?
Can anyone provide feedback as to how these tires wear in comparison to usual contenders (Michelin PS and Bridgestone S03)? Are the noisy, or quiet?
I need a tire that is long lasting (daily driver 70+ miles/day), with good wet-weather handling. Which of the these three would be best?
Thanks,
Mika

They are IMO the Best Ultra-High Performance tires on Earth! They are grippy as f***, have one of the highest treadwear in the market (280 vs. 220 for S-03) are quiet, and look DAMN GOOD! Try this place for your purchace: http://www.treadepot.com/td.c/orders/index.html
Those sizes should be available (call em up).

Default shedding pounds

to whom it may concern, the Proxes T1S 245x40 18 weigh 24lbs., compared to Bridgestone SO-3, which weigh 28lbs. The rear T1S 275x40 18 weighs 28lbs. and the SO-3 weigh 33lbs.. that's a difference of 18lbs. for the set of four..and the T1S has a much better tread wear.

i had them on my S2000... i liked them a lot, but found the rears to go more quickly that i'd hoped for... that being said, they were WAY more predictable than the stock S-02's that came OEM. they will most likely be my replacement tire again.

the t1-s is one of my favorite street tires. for a tech sheet, you can go here:

the weight is definitely an advantage. remember, there's no use in looking for lightweight rims if you're just going to slap a heavy tire on there and cancel the two out.

Nice tires, but they are no G Force K/D's. The G Force K/D is the closest tire to an "R" compound tire that you can buy, period! Anyone that tells you otherwise does not know what they are talking about.
