TOYO tires

[BlackPearl955.0]

Anyone try these tires?
I am leaning torward these though



Do you guys think these will be better then NITTO 555Rs?

I have Proxes T1-Rs on the front, Proxes R888 (the bottom ones) on the back

I love them. The guy at the tire store says the 888s are really sticky.

I saw a Porsche 911 with the 888s in the 315 width ... so they must be pretty serious.

Expensive though

I used to have some Toyo Proxes tires several years (7-8?) ago. I don't remember the exact model of the tire, but they got terrible traction. Grabbing second or third gear too hard broke them free with ease, and that was on a stock Mustang.

A buddy of mine had the proxes (looked like the middle pic tread wise) on his gen 1 lightning. They hooked and went threw all kinds of stuff at ease, great tire.

How much do their DR type tires run for a 315/35/17?

My 275/40/18 R888s ran me $300 a piece

Yea but $300 is the price for a Nitto 555r and is what I payed for them when I wrapped my ponys. I love the tread pattern though on the R888 it is just something you dont see often.
Any other drag radials you guy run that work great?

If you paid $300 a tire for 555r's you got ripped off. They are around $180 new for a 315/35/17, and since you wrapped them on 16" wheels, I would figure they would be even cheaper per tire.

Tire Technology has changed a lot in 7-8 years though

What I meant by ponys is both cars The saleen rims cost me about 300 a piece the pony rims cost me somewhere around 160.
