I was checking out some Toyo tires at www.toyo.com and saw a press release saying they will begin offering their all-season performance touring tire, called the Proxes TPT in the 225/50R17 size.

I once owned a set of Toyo Proxes FZ4's on a '96 Probe GT and I loved them! I wonder how these tires compare?

Also, check out a site called www.1010tires.com and click on the link called Customer Tire Ratings & Reviews. They have customer ratings for dozens of different tires (all brands and models). The Toyo Proxes TPT's got really good reviews!

Let me know what you guys think!

 

How about a link to the press release? A very quick search of the site didn't reveal that.

 

Try this link: http://www.toyo.com/news/index_frame.html

This will take you to Toyo's Press Release page. I can't get it to link to the exact press release, but on this page you will see a list of all of the changes Toyo is making to their tire lineups.

Just scroll down and look for the one called Toyo Tires® Introduces New Sizes of Their Proxes TPT™ Passenger Car Tire".

 

When can we expect these to hit the market?

 

I wish I knew when they would hit the market. I am going to need a new set of tires in the next few months. I've got about 20k on my O.E. Potenza's and I'm ready to get rid of them!
