Default Re: anyone know about Toyo Proxis 4 Tires

I wouldn't rate the proxes in the same league as the nitto extreme 555, but they don't appear to suck enough to warrant taking mine back to swap them for nittos. I got 4 proxes 4 about a month ago for my svt cobra. They seem to do decent in dry weather, and on damp roads, i haven't seen a gully washer type rain since putting them on but i imagine they'll do better than the bald nittos i had on before.

I don't like the way they behave when spinning, (even on wet roads) the rear end tends to move around a bit instead of staying solidly in one spot like it did before these tires. I only spun them to get an idea how they would hold under launch conditions. I got the proxes because the dealer didn't have any nittos in stock at the time. Plus they were cheaper. I really wanted goodyear gsd3's or nitto 555s.
