dunk300zxtt Posted August 7, 2008 Posted August 7, 2008 Toyo proxes are stupidly grippy :D Seriously impressive. Quote
Corvetteman Posted August 7, 2008 Author Posted August 7, 2008 Toyo proxes are stupidly grippy :D Seriously impressive. Wet AND dry?? Quote
dunk300zxtt Posted August 7, 2008 Posted August 7, 2008 Good question....... I had them on a '98 SWB TT, I can't remember if I drove it in the rain. If I DID, then all was well, nothing alarming happened. This was with boost up to 13psi too. Russ_T owns it now, has done for a few weeks. Maybe ask him his experiences if he's drove in the wet with them. Quote
Russ_T Posted August 8, 2008 Posted August 8, 2008 Hey, Yeah love the Toyos, never really seem to let me down :) Seem to be lasting ok so far as well! You can still spin it up in the wet if you try obviously, but they aren't a "SUPRISE NO GRIP!" kinda tyre, if you start to lose it to me it seems quite progressive. Really stick well in the dry round corners as well definitely. I'd buy them again anyway :) Quote
