The new Toyo Proxes 4’s are on

I’ll give a full report in a few weeks, but so far I really like them.
I was worried about the possibility of RUBBING because I went from a 225 width to a 235, but no problems.

I also gave my calipers a “touch-up” because after 2-years and 2-winters they were looking pretty bad.
I gave them the brush-on coat of Rustoleum Black Gloss.

Enjoy…………….

Looks good. I really like the rims with that tread pattern. . . .


I love new toyo feel. I'm still only 1000 miles into my T1-S's and they are AWESOME! By far the best tires I've had on this car...

I bought them locally at STS tire.
Mounted, balanced, taxes & such, the total was 660.

I could have got them mail order for about 510 shipped, but local mounting & balancing would have brought the price up to a similar total.

Looks freakin awesome Shawn. Those rims wrapped in those tires is a great looking combo.


I'm pretty i asked you this once before but how come you painted the calipers black and not red?

I've had my 4's on for a few weeks now, and in the dry & rain they are fantastic, and in the snow, they are decent. Overall they re heads & tails above the Michelins, and for the price, they are hard to beat.

Great choice! One of the many aspects of this tire I really like is the wheel lip protection. I had a accidental encounter with a concrete curb today and the tire prevented what could have been a very nasty scrape to the left rear wheel.

Our stock Calipers are MAJOR UGLY !!!
RED makes them stand out, while BLACK hides them and draws your attention to the RIM.
