Toyo Proxes 4

[SHIRUBA_XXXIII]

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!

as a club member, that will be one of the most competitive prices in Adelaide. Did you let him know you were a club member?

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.
