Thinking about replacing my pirelli's with these. looking for a good tire for the money,,, no track, just daily driving. live in Ga. not to worried about snow. anyone heard anything good or bad?

They are excellent for what they are designed to do. A Performance tire with all-season capability.

We have been testing a Pontiac G8 with these tires on it and the car drives amazing. Very quiet, great ride, and excellent in the snow as well as corning in the dry. Actually Joey Scarallo Jr who drives our race cars did some testing with it and really put it through its paces during the winter ina snow storm...

I have been looking into these as well. Thoughts from actual Camaro owners would be appreciated.

I wont be using them in the snow at all. Just shopping for new tires and want a long lasting tire that looks good and is quiet. wont ever be on track just daily driving. but dont want to pay an arm and a leg.

We had them on our most recent Camaro (we have had 6 so far) that we did up over the winter.

Sad to say for the Pirelli, the difference between the Toyo and the Pirelli was like night and day. The biggest things you will notice will be a better ride and more stability over pavement changes.

I'm currently using them, over all a very good tire... Greg

I really would rather get these tires local, last time I got tires online I had issues. But none of my local tire shops carry the Toyo brand.

The Toyos are great. If you call us to order a set there will not be any dramas.

i007spectre · 08-13-2013, 02:28 PM

Hmm found a local shop that can get them for me. But they will be almost $120 more than online with shipping even. Just would rather have a local person to deal with should any issues arise. Oh well, guess I'll just have to give it a shot.

i007spectre · 09-04-2013, 12:42 PM

Wish these were available at tirerack or discount tire direct.

Smitti · 09-08-2013, 08:40 PM

I'm looking at getting a stock size set of these as well. Found a good price at treaddepot.com and shipping is reasonably priced.

I have had them for over a year and I am VERY disappointed with wet weather performance! I don't know about winter performance since I have Blizzaks for winter driving.

Are you talking about the Toyo Proxes 4 Plus tire? Your signiture shows Toyo Proxes 4 which is the old design.

philthy · 09-08-2013, 09:14 PM

I will have to check them tomorrow to be sure.
