I need new tires and was looking at getting the Toyo Proxies 4 (235/45/17). However, money is pretty tight right now and was wondering if anyone has any experience with the Cooper Zeon 2XS. They are a bit cheaper than the Proxies but have the same traction and tread wear ratings. The tread pattern is also very similar. I tried googling but didn't really find anything useful. Any info is greatly appreciated! Thanks guys.

 

Well, I guess I'll be the first.

These tires are great! I've had them for a week now and they are definitely a big improvement over the stock Turanzas I had on my 03 GLE. They are identical to the Proxies in every rating. The only difference is the tread pattern and price. For all four I got them for about $60 bucks less than what I could have got the Proxies for. Now you might say, "It’s only $60; you should've gone with the Proxies." Well, the Coopers are the best bang for the buck and if you are not concerned about impressing people simply because your tires say Toyo; then you should look into these tires.
