Terrible
Bought these tires for a rear wheel drive sports car, they are absolutely lethal in the wet if you have a heavy foot.I've worn them in for over 1 month now with no improvement in wet road grip.

I recently - a week ago purchased these tyres to my vehicle. I was looking for a good buy of tyres for a period. During the last service it was mentioned I must change the tyres as soon as possible. I had a good deal in I bought all four tyres for the price of three. Excwllent tyres. Very comfortable driving. Minimum notice. Will strongly recommended.

These tyres are a nicer tyre than the previous (firestones) as far as the reduction in road noise and handling in the wet is concerned. The price is on par with the performance and in this case you do get what you paid for, and if you wait for a sale you can get a little more in my opinion. I have had the tyres for approx 6 months of writing the review and have been wearing well for a daily commuter vehicle.

So, I needed to change my Bridgestones since they had excessive wear on the inside rear wheels while the front copped a beating on the outside edge. Decided to try the Toyo Proxes ST2 (complete set of 4) since they are cheaper at St George Tyres, Arncliffe. Directional tread pattern looks impressive and creates the impression that this monster can grip in wet weather....uhhh.....NOPE....first rainstorm 2 days after fitment and I almost lost control through a bend on the wet road that I travel on a daily basis. Also lack of steering ability at speed on the wet road and also understeer on dry road at speed. Never had this issue with the Bridgestones....even with a worn set they were glued to the road! Stay away from Toyo's if you have a heavy car or SUV.

I thoroughly recommend tryesales.com for any tyre purchases. My new Toyo Proxies 4 tyres are excellent.... Replaced Continental Sport 2's which were also excellent, but the Toyo Proxies made me see and feel what I was missing! The fitting process by the car dealer on Peninsula in Rosebud, was a nice way to finish the transaction. I watched TV on a comfortable leather lounge, and read car mags while I waited ! The service technician chatted with me afterwards, about the job, answering my questions about how the wheels balanced up, etc.... Excellent service all told.

Have a G6E Turbo which came with Dunlop Sport Maxx tyres. Couldn't accelerate even half way on the throttle without wheel spin, were terrible in the wet and only lasted 30,000klm. Put the Toyo Proxes 4 on and what a difference. Could finally accelerate without wheel spin, were great in the wet and lasted 65,000klm. Fantastic tyre and would recommend.

I was horribly disappointed to see these tyres under my brand new Mazda CX-5, not the cheapest but the most expensive CX-5 GT version. Straight from the factory. For a car this expensive I would have thought Mazda could afford some premium brand tyres. It may be just the Australian market that gets hit with this cheapo ?

OK
Because of the above, I'm cautious about keeping tyre pressures up near 38lb since grip becomes lazy and the walls mushy when the tyre temperature is hot.I'd consider T1R or Adrenalin RE001 next time I think.

Proxesa 245/45/ZR18 100W were recommended by reputable trye dealer in lieu of the expensive Bridgestones on my 07 Calais V ( V8 so heavy vehicle). Nearly lost it on sweeping bend the second day cruising at 110kph on freeway conditions. Oversteer is horrendous, spongy and sidewall sway is very noticeable on bends and curves. drift under V8 power, particularly on hill climbing and crests...meaning absolutely no grip at all. Drive wheel spin at 10kph in the wet at normal take off.Very noticeable loss of steering control when not in the straight line postion wet or dry. Noisiest tyre I have ever driven on. The most dangerous expensive tyre I have even driven on. Only been on for 6000 kms. Coming off tomorrow, and I will take them to the tip and destroy them personally, lest some inexperienced driver will get them on the cheap and kill themselves. ( Yes I am an old fart!) Shouda got the manufacturers recommended tyres in the first place for the extra $2,000. Yep $4,500 for a set of normal Bridgestone Pontenza for a VE Calais V. Quiet, stick like glue....but wear out in 30,000kms.

I chose this base on a friend's recommendation who have a Nissan Pulsar. Maybe this worked well on his small light car but certainly not mine E60. I was strongly recommended by the tyre manager to opt for Falken 452 (originally designed for large premium cars)as I was strictly on a tight budget at the time. With regret I bought this Toyos instead. My next tyre would probably be the Falken 452 (seemingly getting positive international reviews) if I am on a budget again or if not the Michelin PS2 or Yokohama Advan v103. There is another Toyo CT-01 which is comfort oriented but just like Toyo T1R, cornering power is really just average only.

I have a FG xr6 and I am 60, so I don t hoon but I like to get home quickly without speeding. I put these on because they had a AA traction rating. That meant nothing. Noticeable road noise and in the wet, they loose traction easily. The traction control goes ape crap when I try to accelerate quickly and the rear end fishtails. So much so, that a Holden Captiva beat me of the lights TWICE and he, she wasn t even trying. How embarrassing!!! So now, under recommendation from my tyre dealer, I have put Falken Fk453 (245/17) on. They grip like hell in the wet and are quieter. I even tried to spin them in the rain (without being silly) and they just stuck to the road like it was dry. So far extremely impressed. :-)
