Default Toyo Proxes question

Anyone run Toyo Proxes? If so, how did you like them? How about Nitto Invo's?

I have Nitto Invo's on my car, and I have been very happy with them. My tires seem to "stick" to the road very well. I have about 3000 miles on them now.

How to the Invo's compare to the NT555's?

According to Nitto...the Invo's are supposed to be a few notches above the 555's in ride comfort, quietness, wet and dry performance. Plus they have one damn unique tire tread pattern. I have not one complaint about mine. I went from the stock 18's to 20's and if anything the change was only noticeable in that it seemed to "stick" better..

Mounting/balancing and roadside hazard protection on each tire was $1200 total.

Toyo Proxe 4's here. I have had them for a few months now and I really like them.

I agree with Shella.......the Invo's rock and they are in my future (for the fronts anyway) and DR's for the back. I like the Toyo's as well but Nitto IMO is better!

Cool

I just put on some 20's with Toyo proxes 4. I have only had them on for a couple days but I love the way they feel in the turns. They have a lot of grip.

I am running the toyo proxy s/t. I had to get the rears replaced a couple weeks ago (hehe) and turns out they dont make the s/t anymore, its now the "s/t 2." They grip pretty darn well.
