New Toyo Proxes S/T

[rosscob]

I just ordered some new toyo's for the truck

front: 255/55/18
rear: 285/50/18

I don't know anything about the tires, but got a good deal on them. I'm hoping that the larger rear will help me hook up a little better.

Holy shit...HE'S BAAACKK!!

Good to hear the lake didn't swallow you yet.

Why didn't you go with the 305/50's? They hooked preetty well for you I'd say.

how you been ross? how much did those toyo&#39;s run for all four? if you can get some pics up from like a side angle. id like to see the stance/look of the truck with the smaller on the front and larger on the rear.

iev always heard good things bout the toyo s/t&#39;s.... never had any personal experience but alot of people i used to run around with had 20&#39;s and 22&#39;s and what not..... they all had the toyo&#39;s

when they are new, they hook pretty good. they wear down fast and once the tread gets about 1/2 way down they get flat out scarry in the rain. also, after you lose about 1/2 tread all traction goes out the window. i went to nitto 404&#39;s as a second set of tires and wont go back to the proxies. maybe im just a 1 case deal though. everyone else praises them...i feel like i just fell into the "toyo proxy hype". the 404&#39;s are a better tire IMO.

i havent tried the proxies so i cant say too much about them, but these nittos hook up real good. although its not like i have alot of torque to burn the tires down, they are real nice.

Mine have been pretty good to me. I have actually gotten my best 60&#39; with them. I have done many burnouts with them and I&#39;m pleasantly suprised with their wear. I would buy them again in a heartbeat.

I&#39;ve had my Toyo&#39;s for a little over a year, and I&#39;ve put about 10k miles on them. They look new, and perform very well. I&#39;m running the 305/45-22&#39;s. Good luck with the traction. In 2wd, it doesn&#39;t take much to light em up.

thats my experience with the toyos after a few miles, and thats exactly what we dont want. if i could keep the power and never be able to peel out ever again i would be sooooo happy. loss of traction=slower times, and it will be sooner to buy expensive tires.
