I will say they were very predictable the way they let go all the way thru though so I was very happy with them.(But wanted to buy the proxes next before ending up with the Kuhmos) Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/61722-toyo-proxy4s-or-pirelli-pzero-neros/#findComment-934221 Share on other sites More sharing options...

No idea about the toyos but they get a good wrap Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/61722-toyo-proxy4s-or-pirelli-pzero-neros/#findComment-934227 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found they would spin alittle but regain grip as torque reduced.Id go for the Pirelli's Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/61722-toyo-proxy4s-or-pirelli-pzero-neros/#findComment-934683 Share on other sites More sharing options...
