Guest Guests Posted 30/10/06 05:37 AM Share Posted 30/10/06 05:37 AM I settled on the Toyo Proxes 4 and got them for $359 a corner.Whether that's the best price or not remains to be seen but it was one stop shopping and I got a good deal on rims also so I'm happy enough.Tyres appear to be great but my purposes are probably different than a lot of others who might frequent this site.They are a bit noisier but hang on really well and I feel better pushing it when the family is on board, so I am satisfied.Thanks everyone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZAP No boost, no bottle, just my foot on the throttle!

Highest rated tyre on tirerack.com (check it out for excelent reviews) and even outrated the Eagle GS-D3 in the wet (which means they are amazing). No idea of price yet.←This is what the new VE's run on their 19" wheels.Apparently they will cost about $600 per corner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They both just wanted to understeer, and didn't want to get the power down on exits.I'd rate them as a lot better than the tyres you guys are talking about, but nowhere near the performance of a Michelin PS2.

I normally wouldn't rate a Falken but these are getting good press and are nothing like the Ziex crap they make. It's a bit like Dunlop. pretty much everything they make is crap but now they have the new Sport MAxx and it's a great tyre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was quoted about $1100 for a 285/30 20.Michelin PS2's are not a rip off, lets see you find a better perfoming road tyre..You wont, and that is why they cost so much.None of the tyres people rave on about here (v103, re050, proxies, rosso, preceda etc..) come close to the PS2.If you want a quality performance tyre be prepared to pay for it.
