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. :)

    • Jax Tyres Smithfeild Ive gone there a few time, well for tyres. on my 3rd visit I spoke to the dude and told how i just got slugged for rotors, brakes ect. His reply was golden; have you read whats on the front of the building. Never forgot it.       before picture, good friend got all these goodies installed.  Well time to study, servicing, maintenance all before this weekend driving lesson.  
    • Hello, first of, I’ve looked at many threads on this code but none have helped me, if you know one that will help me feel free to post a link.   Now to my problem. Recently I was driving and noticed the check engine light came on. I went home and did the test to see what code it gave. I got the 21 code but everything seems fine with the car, no misfire, idle is good, acceleration is the same as when I bought it. I mean no signs of obvious failure. If no misfire is happening I can rule out the coil packs right? Which is about 98% of posts saying it is. If anyone has had this happen and found the issues let me know please. No other lights are on.   The car WAS due for an oil change. I since then changed it so idk if that triggers code 21. Either way it hasn’t turned off.
    • Your both right, it may hold a bit longer then.  Soon I need to change the synchros, should I fit the billet plate while I'm at it? Or just a waste of money?
    • Some of the east coast US Stagea got together this past weekend at Lime Rock Park in CT for Grid Life Circuit Legends. This is probably my favorite pic of the shoot with @Morgan.Mundahl on IG. Hope we get more stags out next year! i think I spotted 5 other than my own at the event.
