toyo vs. hankook tires? which are better
im looking to buy tires for the 20s that i want. my choices are between toyos proxes 4 or some hankook tire. the size is 225-45-20. they will only be used in the summer and early fall. o and one more question, are 20s not a good idea since i need such skinny tires that wont protect me from anything really. would the large rims be too easy to damage with these skinny tires???

Tires
I had toyo's put in about 1 year ago,and even though they still have 80% of their thread,they've become so noisy at slow speeds that I;m thinking about replacing them. I even switched them back to front to no improvement.
Can anyone recommend a better tire? I have the Proxes.
Thanks

Uhhhhh get the Toyooks!!!! J/K If you are just looking for a cheap priced tire, go with the Hankooks, but they have a lower treadwear rating I believe than the Toyo's. Your best bet would be either the Toyo Proxes FZ4 or even the newer Proxes 4 and another choice would be the General Exclaim UHPs in that size. There are some members on here running Generals including me and have had good things to say about them. Quiet tire, and softer sidewall if you are looking for a cheap tire with decent to above average quality.

It's quite obvious.
No, really.
