Toyo Proxy 4?
Hey everyone,
I'm currently in need of new tires... I contacted my local tire guy and he suggested that I get the Toyo Proxy 4's for my evo, can anyone give a rating for the tire?
He offered me an uber deal on the tires and I just want to know if I should jump on it or not.
Thanks!

I am running Toyo Proxy T1-S which is their best street tire. They are not as good as the Advans. I can't believe that the Proxy 4s are even close. As far as the Proxy 4s go the price is good, they will last long, but you will be severely disappointed in their performance when compared to the Advans. Nothing but a DOT race tire compares with the Advans.

::update::
after driving for about 200 mi on the tires... i must say i'm disappointed right now... i don't know if they just need to be broken in a bit more or what... but these tires kinda make me drive with a certain fear... as if the car is ready to spin out or slide... the initial feel of the tires feel like the car is on butter... slight movement of the wheel sends the front of the car into the turn with a delayed reaction to the back... would that be cause of a weak sidewall? tire needs to be driven on a bit longer? or the treads so deep it just moves along with the tire?

I'm running the Proxes 4 too. For what they are, I think they're great tires. If you expected anywhere near the grip of the stock Advans you'll definately be dissapointed.
IMHO the Proxes 4s are a better street compromise tire. They grip very well in the wet and have much more compliant sidewalls. I run RA1s on the track & on the street in the summer so I'm not sweating the lack of grip. Once I relearned how to toss the car into corners with the Proxes 4s I got over the harsh ride and lousy cold weather performance of the Advans.
