Just curious. I want to buy Toyo proxies, but I am curious why I can't seem to find them at the tire rack. I would like to buy them with a wheel and tire package on tirerack.com.

Do you carry them? If not, Any chance that you will carry them in the future?

Thnx,

 

bueller?

 

No, the Tire Rack does not carry Toyo tires. Les Schwab carries them.

 

I got a set of new Toyo Proxes on my new rims a couple of weeks ago. They are so sweet and feel so nice. Mine are 205/35/18 Here is a picture.

You cannot go wrong with them. Why Tire Rack doesn't carry them I have know idea. Wish they did.

 

Sleepless is correct we do not handle Toyo. I doubt that we will ever carry Toyo products. Wish I had more optomistic news for you.

RSpeed does Rota/Toyo combos. Talk to Peter.

I have heard they make a very high quality product. I personally have no expierence with Toyo. Its not a relationship Tirerack has persued.

I'll be swapping out my worn BFG KDW's in the next month or so and am considering the Proxies..... anybody got any review of them as compared to other tires? I'm not concerned about price, but want the best performace I can get that hopefully isn't quite as loud as the KDW's.

 

I have proxes 4 on now. Great in dry and wet conditions. Better in my opinion than Goodyear runflats (Duh) and Kumho's. I have Toyo RA-1's for the track. Love Toyos

 

Edge Racing carries Toyo. You can also get wheel/tire packages there, although wheel choices are not as varied as Tire Rack's.

 

They had better turn in than the Goodyear F1 GS-D3s, but much worse wet performance. Toyos were lighter too, but overall, I'm happy with the Goodyears, as the turns in the hills where I live are often damp.

Toyos are good, but are they top notch? Questionable. It is like Toyota, they make great dependable cars, but will never be in the same league with big boys

 

Talk to or email Leo @ Edgeracing. Great service and they do carry all the Toyo products.

 

yeh, the big boys you talk about are too fat and slow.

 

i was referring to BMWs, Audis when i said big boys . Ken, can you tell me which part of BMW is fat and slow

 

yeh, the driver. let's see how the new supra and IS500's do vs your BMW's and Audi's and then
we'll talk. (Not dat i really care about toyota's. i think they make boring cars).

 

that was a good one

 

yah, had to lower the joke down to your level. jk berky.

over and out. (too off topic)

 

to my level? you need a space shuttle to carry your Supras to my level

I DECLARE WAR TO YOU KEN



Supra= Corvette wannabe (as you see, soooooo farrrrr from BMWs)
IS500= M3 wannabe

Repectfully

 

berky= kenchan wannabe.

 

what in the world makes you think that?

You are so wrong...

 

My second set of Toyos from Edge Racing are on their way. Good guys, good prices, and a good product. I ran T1S last year, going with the T1R this year. The wet traction is suppose to be inproved with the new version. I was very happy with the T1S, so can't wait to see how the T1R does.

 

hey SumWon, i looked at you gallery, there is a pic I am assuming you and your lady and in the back a DS MCS, is it yours? if yes how diid you get the bonnet black. Lokks real nice and unique. Thanks....

Prolly you are trying to be like Ken too

 

A toyo rep spoke at a BMW Club monthly meeting today, says they don't distribute through TireRack(internet based) because they want local shop expertise - matching tires to use, setup, etc. They had a pretty good pitch and there's quite a few Toyo only racing classes running production cars.
