Toyo Tires Proxes ST II Reviews

Best wear so far

I have put 90K on my 03 SSR and went through 4 full sets of Goodyear Eagles (OEM tire), I finally did some research and purchased the Proxes ST II and couldn't be happier. The tires have incredible grip for such a hard compound. I thought by purchasing a tire with such a high tread wear rating that I would be giving up grip completely. Quite the opposite, the grip on these is much superior to the Good Year Eagle. The ride is superior and I love seeing all that tread left after 20K miles of use. The Eagles would be bald and need replacing by now.

Good highway, not snow

These tires corner great on mountain roads, but I was sliding around every time it snowed (we mainly get sleet -wet slippery stuff.) They only lasted 21,000 miles and for the price I do not think they are a good value. They also seemed noisy to me.

Awesome Tires

Second set, on the ML-430 first set over 40K miles, ok...this sounds not like a lot, but the tires like Continental, BF Goodrich, Michelin all lasted under 20K....and were noisy.

Great grip and handling on a compact SUV

Tires were mounted on 18X8 35 OFFSET wheels and replaced Toyo Proxes STI tires. Toyo Proxes STII are far quieter than STI with great grip.

i feel safe with this tire

So i am on my 3rd set of proxes st and i am very happy with the performance of the tire my Ram is 2wd and i just drove thru 6" of snow on very warn tires and i made it home just fine a few years ago when they were new i drove thru over 1' of snow and made it home just fine, i know there not real snow weather tires but the toyo tire has never let me know in any way i also run toyo's on my Magnum as well.

I like them, but mpg's dropped

Just replaced Michelin Crosstours of same size 255/60/17, they lasted me 70k miles, new Michelin Latitudes would've cost me $900 out the door (crosstours not available in this size), the Proxes cost me $560. Proxes got good reviews from suv owners for handling and wet/snow performance. I like them so far, not quiet but not loud, solid handling, but according to my trip computer my avg mpgs have dropped from the 15.5-16 range to 13.9-14.6. Easy to see why when you look at the tread, I can also feel the increased rolling resistance. Mdx currently has 125 K miles on it, so break even point with increased fuel cost is about 20k more miles.
