A Good Tire Choice???
 

are toyo proxy's a good investment to put on my car? a guy i know has a set for 100 bucks brand new should i take him up?

Huh? Four new SVX sized tires for a hundred bucks? I'll take a dozen.
Go for it. Oh... I suggest these tires are hot. REAL hot!

im lost
 

im dumb so what do you mean by they're hot? lol, and also how much would someone pay for new tires for the svx?

price deends on brand and sizes $400 and up is normal for 4 tires.

Does your friend has extra tires?? :D

i would like to have an extra set 'just in case'

Re: im lost
 

I would suggest that if the police people show up & ask you, "Do you know this guy"? You answer "Moi?" Non, mon ami".
Expect to pay a "real" tire dealer at least $100 per tire plus install & goodies.

well...
 

well this kid used to work at a local tire and wheel shop and he eventually accumulated a few things, he had random rims and stuff like that but he told me today he has a set of brand new toyo's and he'd give them to me for 100 bucks so i decided to ask you guys first...hmmmm....what to do? what to do...

Hmm.. get a receipt??? :p

Re: well...
 

Get off the computer and buy them !! You cant go too wrong for buying a set of 4 brand name tires new for $100 in ANY size for that matter.

my thoughts exactly!

my $.02
 

GET THEM
GET THEM
GET THEM
If you don't like them slap them up for sale here or on EBAY and you will get at least 150 for them...

Alternative to those cheap tires are the Yokohama AVS Intermediates. Tire Rack has em on sale for $59/each in 225-50-16. I'm gonna snatch up a set for the SVX as soon as I get it.

Any comments on the AVS Intermediates on the SVX?

Have him mount them and balance them in front of you - they may have a belt shift or other defect in them that renders them unbalanceable. If they check out - go for it!

Pete,

Toyo Proxes is a brand name covering many different types of tires. Similarly, there are many types & prices of tires under the name of Bridgestone Potenza. I bought 4 Toya Proxes T1-S tires mounted & balanced for my SVX. They cost $736-. The T1-S tire is the top of the line performance street tire for Toyo Proxes.

Potenza RE730
 

What's the opinion of this tire? Costco has um for $125 +

Hot tread design:cool:
