toyo or general?

[musshoss]

toyo proxe 4 or general exclaim uhp?
im going to run 295/30/20 and 255/35/20 on my new wheels (Fx9") (Rx10.5) and i was wondering about these tires. the generals are a little cheaper and i have a friend that is running them but he isnt lowered either. my 06 will be lowered on eibach pro's. i have read about general having a soft side wall but have also heard about people having issues with toyo.

so, which ones?

I'm in the same boat...looking @ lots of different sizes and brands. I currently have 255/35/20 ft and 285/30/20 rear Sumitomos that last pretty good but thinking I might go to the 295 or maybe 305 if I can find something with a good price tag.

 

[musshoss]

both of these are well priced tires but i just want to find out the experiences that people have had with them. im going with ONE of these two.

Why, they are both terrible tires. One is an all season (toyo), the other is slow wearing (380 treadwear) rock.

I agree. If you go Toyo, step up to T1R's.

I'd do the toyo's. I see more people running them and they tend to wear a little better than the generals. Both are decent tires though. I've seen some terminators and a few sc'd gt's that like them and get decent mileage.

I ran the General's in a 20" on my Steeda Ultra Lite lowered '07, They are a good looking tire and rode as well (w/20") as the stock BFG 18". I have not put many miles on them due to the fact I went with big-N-littles. Not a bad tire for the money. My .02 cents.

 

[musshoss]

jucostud, are you talking about the toyo proxes 4? because im not so sure i can afford the T1-R...

 

[EscapedGreg]

I'd personally go with the Generals myself.

 

[DRock]

Oh I too am in the same boat. I put 13000 miles on my car last year and i just dont have the money to be replacing tires all the time once i put my saleen 20's on.

did you use them as a track tire? Im looking for a daily driven car tire not track

Yes, proxes 4's.

I'm currently running the Toyo proxes 4 and they are a great tire imo for daily driving here in Miami and they hold up very well in rain.
I'm on 20's 235/35/20 front and 275/35/20 rears.
At the track though they spin quite a bit when you just dump the clutch. I'm ready for new tires, I'm most likely going with BFG KDW or Nitto Invos.
