Is there anyone running the following tires:

Front - Toyo Proxes T1R 255/30ZR21
Rear - Toyo Proxes T1R 285/30ZR21

I plan on mounting them on GM OEM 21" Camaro wheels 8.5" front width, 9.5" rear width. These will then be installed on my 2014 SS/RS.

What is your experience with these tires? Any tires experts have an opinion on the tires?

I know these Toyo's are not the same size as the P Zero's that are recommended but they are close. Any figment issues?

Thanks

Any Toyo Tire users out there? Comments, remarks, opinions regarding the above post?

I ran those on my G35 coupe years ago... for about a day. The sidewalls were so sloppy, I thought I was going to lose control on the highway because it felt like the car was floating back and forth while trying to go straight!?

I don't know if they've improved them since then, but I would not buy them again to find out. 'Hope this helps.

I have been looking for 21's too, but the load rating on the Toyo's is about 400lbs less per tire than the Pzero's. I'm still looking.

Thanks fldrummer and rray. Both helpful replies. Based on that I may go with Hankooks or (God Forbid $$$$) the P-Zero's.
