When I was searching for 205/40R18 tires, I only found Toyo and NITTO. Does anyone have experience with Toyo Proxes 4 or Nitto Neo Gen? :smile:

 

Nitto is really a dressup tire. They look great buy they don't perform
well especially through corners. Ive tried their NT501, 555, 450's...they
all looked great but performance was bad..even for daily driving especially
in the wet.

You might want to look for another size like 215/40/18 or 205/45/18
something like that.

I believe that's spelled R-O-C-K-S. I made the mistake of taking the advice of a guy who was running 225/35-18s on his Probe. Turns out it was the only tire he could get in that size and thought they were great. I has a set of 205/45-16 555s. When winter came, I put on a set of Winter 210s and had them throw the 555s away. About 10k miles on them. Plenty of tread left but the 210s handled so much better (even with the tread squirm of the winter design.) Don't bother unless the style is more important than the performance.

 

Thanks for the suggestions! The specific line of Nitto I'm considering is Neo Gen. Does anyone know about this specific line of Nitto?

I might have to reconsider and go with Toyo instead. :smile:
