just got my TOYO proxes RA1 205/50/15 AWESOME!!!
Yesterday after much thought I decided to keep my 15" wheels and put some new rear tires for my car.
I bought two Toyo proxes 205/50/15s and went on to race. My first impressions were mixed. I thought they were not worth it because I had not heated them up to get to their maximum potential. These tires need to be warm and used a bit to provide thier maximum performance. I raced a couple of times and I noticed no performance change until a buddy of mine told me to rev a lot higher before letting the clutch pedal off. I usually take my car out at about 4k - 4.5k to avoid wheelspin. These time I started to take out the car at 7.5k after a nice 4 second burnout with the brake pedal before staging. this is where the fun began... out the hole there was a dramatical improvement, about 3 car lenghts difference... second gear tire spin was gone right away and blew a gear tooth of my diff or so I think...I'll get that replaced today. well in few words these tires are AWESOME and I highly recomend them for drag, circuit racing and normal day to day driving...they just plain rule.... |
Where'd you get 'em and how much?

I have Toyo Spectrums which are one notch below the Proxes :). Theyre pretty damn cool too :). I got mine at Les Schuab (sp?), they also carry the Proxes there, but they dont have them in the stock 12A wheel size, which is why I got spectrums.

I don't live in the US anymore...
I got them at $90.00 each, needless to say the tireshop manager is good friend of mine. ..BTW didn't blow my diff :) I popped the rear left coil spring ;) |
