Hey guys,

Recently am in need of some new tires, pretty standard size, 235/40/R17. I got a quote from a dealer in Blackwood, for some Toyo Proxes 4's, as I am wanting to give these a go having just come off of a set of Dunlop LM703's. Has anyone driven the Proxes 4's? What did you think of them? Also, where is the best place to get these in Adelaide. I got quoted $230 each.

Cheers guys!

No actually, I didn't. I believe they were on special or something, and thought it was not too bad. I haven't checked anywhere else out and was not sure if it was a good price or not. Do most tire shops offer discount for club members? Or are there specific dealers for SAUSA members?

for that price, I'd recommend upgrading to the T1R Proxes ... they're around $250 a corner (at least for the 225x50/r16) so I'd imagine it'd be not much more than what you'd already be paying for the 4's

Been running T1R's for the last 4 years and they are a brilliant road compound. I get 2 years out of mine before camber wear is an issue.

t1rs are just a normal road tyre, proxes 4s are higher, then r1r higher again before you go an r compound.

hrm. always thought the p4s were cheaper due to being a lesser compound.

the review comparisons seemed to favour the t1r's however, especially in the wet

I ran the proxes4 on the rear of my old r32 rb30det running a shade over 300rwkw. Hooked up second relatively well and third damn well. 0-100 was an effortless 4secs flat.

Tried quite a few different tyres sizes etc. Settled on the standard 225/50/16's over a set of decent 255 18's that were like sliding on ice in comparison.

IMO great tyre, great wear, nice centered feel but with a slightly soft sidewall - which is great for straight line though. :)

      I see those two Stageas have the "punched 40mm hole" deregistered Japanese number plates 👍 Nice kouki group shot with the different colours too.

      Yeah I made that post way too early, sorry I must have assumed it was bad because it's a 20+ year old thrashed shitbox lol. It was just a loose exhaust bolt.

      Like others have said, drop the power to give your drivetrain a % of reliability until you can up the drivetrain reliability  It isn't rocket science, build power to the weakest link with a % of safety Whilst upping the the reliability of the drive train is costly, there's no point in having the engine make big power if it keeps eating the drivetrain....ask me how I know, I had the tow truck on speed dial for a few years, and I spent huge amounts of money fixing issues and breakages that really would have been cheaper in the long run if I did it right the first time Me, I like a nice sized fudge factor, that keeps me off the tow truck

      I don't understand what the issue is with, turn the boost down and start saving $$.  As soon as you can afford the supporting mods, turn the boost back up.  If the car is running fine, enjoy it. Turning the boost down isn't going to kill you.
