Toyo Proxes

FullOutPwr · 04-10-2009, 01:37 PM

I did a search, and all the thread is about using them for drag... anyone using them for a daily driver? I'm looking at them for a 325/50-20 for daily driver...

I'm not too sure those would be good to stick on a heavy 3/4 ton as a daily driver. Seems like there would be some better choices out there IMO.

Wondering the same thing but these are in a 305/60r18....If anyone has better ideas for tires lets hear them. All these tire companys only make AT's and MT's in good sizes like 305-325 but none of them make tires for on-road use with 10 or 8 ply's. Half of the people with MT's will never be off-road more than maybe 10-15% of the time.

Just found out that the 305/60r18 has a 3086 load rating but is still only a 4 ply tire. Thats only 20 pounds less than my E rated mickey thompsons.

4 ply? Oh no...I wouldn't do it! 8 is the bare minimum I would go and most on here are gonna tell you to shy away from 8 and go 10. Still think there are better tires out there that would be better IMO.

I would recommend the Toyo H/T instead

I would love to put a HT tire on but no one makes them in a 305, 315, or 325.......
