Toyo Proxes

Recommended Posts

i know a few people here are running them and I want to know

what you think. Ive had a set fitted for over a week now (standard

size) and think there a bit crap. They are controllable on the limit

but dont have the outright grip of the Falkens/Pirellis I had on

previously. They also seem to cause the car to wander under heavy

breaking (although this could be down to some parts that are due to be replaced). Anyone else find this or is it just me? Good for the price

though I suppose.

Ill admit there great in some ways, especially scaring passengers. Will see how they are after I get my axle bushes, top mounts and engine mounts done. (car goes in tommorow.) :?

Anyone know how much a complete set of 205 50 VR15 toyos cost? Would you rate them above yokohama A539's?

 

I've always had yokohama tyres on my cars and have been very pleased (used to cost £35 per tyre 195 50 R15 so the heavy wear didn't matter too much). Have recently got a quote for 253.00 delivered on the yoko's.

HOW MUCH?!? I just paid £160 for a pair of 205/45/16 A539s FITTED from Demon Tweeks inc new valves and the like... I think they were dishing them out at £65each + P&P once I'd battered him about a bit! :wink:

 

Dunno about the proxies though, I've only ever fitted Yok's to my cars... The 509s were supersticky in the dry, but, BOY, did they suck in the wet! The 520s were better in the wet, but wore out WAY too quickly... The 539s are the best they've done so far for use in all conditions... :)

 

I remember 195/50/15 A539s being sub £50 each when I had my first C... Then again, that was 5 years ago now... :? :shock:

Joe M, I had them on a golf for a while and the only real problem I found with them was they were a bit soft and tended to wear quite quickly,good grip though. :) :mrgreen:

Think they just had too bed in a bit more, now I have no complaints. For the price I think I would definately get them again.

you could use http://www.topgear.co.uk as someone on this site mentioned a while ago about tyres, they are very cheap. i use yokohamas and i think i will be trying something else next time as i am not too impressed with them.
