Toyo Proxes 4

Anybody else have these on their TL? I just got 4 mounted & balanced for $460 at a local shop, which I thought was a decent deal.

At first I wasn't considering this tire because I didn't think Toyo made the Proxes4 in the OEM size (215/50-17) based on their web site. So far I like how them but will need a few more miles to better judge...

I've had a set of Proxes4 on my car for about 7 months now and I have no complaints so far. If I get another set of all seasons I might go for these again.

I bubbled a few due to potholes, but they were really good performing tires in the wet, and dry.

wow! i didn't know proxes 4's were made in the stock tl-s size. i read really good reviews for them and thought they were made for 18" and up only. where are you guys going for them and how are they so cheap?? the 225/35/19 i wanted were like 800 when i was considering 19's. i ended up getting yokohama yk520's (215/50/17) for over 600.

ah, BFG GForce sports, all the way. 3rd best ultra high performance summer tire for the stock size, behind firestone ovals, which is unfortunate...

Yeah me too ... Toyo web site doesn't even list the Proxes 4 as available for the TL, and they don't list 215/50-17 as a size which is available for it .

I got them at Auto Innovations in Milpitas... if you're in the South Bay call Orlando at 408.956.8004 and he'll set you up.

The toyo's proxe's 4 are great value and perform well, just be sure to get around a over 300 treadwear rating so they'll last awhile! ......I had these on my ITR, Love'd them!...and be sure to check out the KUHMO'S also!!!!

The Toyo Proxes are a good value tire. I had them on my previous car and they were good. Treadwear is really good on the them and I believe I paid about $450-$500 for a set of 225 40 18s.

But I agree about the BFG's..I got the BFG's KDWs after the toyos and they were hands down..the best tires.
