Toyo Proxes 4

[Paramour]

Hello,

Just a post to let anyone interested know about the Proxes 4.

I was suggested to try these tyres so I bought a set, went from 225/45/18 and upgraded to 245/40/18, and have noticed a huge difference. I have noticed the feel through the steering is different. . . you can certainly feel the extra 4cm on the road.

Being new I tried a few hard and fast corners and was very impressed. . very impressed. . even better that my previous number 1 preferred tyre the Dunlop W10.

They are a good price for those that need a 97+ load indexed tyre, $270 each

Ive found good tyres to be Hankook Ventus K104 Sports at $190ea 3yrs ago

however, Im down a few quid and want newies, so Ive orderd a set of 4 235/45/17 Achilles advan-gt at $125ea

meant to be ok grip wise so we'll see.

Toyo R1Rs are simply awesome!!, but quality costs a fair bit more

245/40/18=$360ea approx.

Well worth it though; when you have 320+rwkw driving through the rear wheels only

I went the Kuhmo Ecsta KU31's, kind of a middle of the road tyre as i had planned to get 18's latter so didnt see the put in putting pricey tyres on the stock rims.

For the price $180 each (235/45/17) they grip really well, i have pushed the car hard a few times and they feel very good, intial bite isnt that flash but once your in there nice.

I've been running Federal 595 with no probs. Still got 10/15 left so will be sussing things a bit down the track.

Got those on the rears at the moment, seem alright, definitely not as grippy as the Toyo Teo's I had before. But for the price, pretty good. Apparently they are rebadged Kumho's according to the tyre guy

Yes the R1R are the next tyre up. . . . . I took the advice of the tyre guy and went the proxes 4, he said unless you are going to be driving hard a lot of the time the Proxes4 are actually better. Also the R1R will wear a lot quicker too...

Ahhhh but they look hell cool lol.. Thanks for the input though, if they are fast wearing and you drive hard it's probably not a good investment! lol

Proxes 4 doesn't comes close, but traction is not a real big issue for 4wd

Stephen and Julius (and everyone else, for that matter), if you become SAU-NSW club members, you can have access to cheap Federal tyres. I've got the 595-SSs on my car and they are FANTASTIC!!!

[Bis-e Bee]

ahhh... Nick, always the salesman!

I'm going to become a member really, just wait until I have the cash

I need to become a member b4 the car goes into Unique for a general service, I want to save me some dosh.

I'll keep the Federal Tyres in mind when I do need replacements, who fits them?

[Stage Name]

The tyres are delivered to your door, so you can get whoever you want to fit them. I had mine fitted by Spin City Wheels in North Parramatta.
