Default Toyo Proxes TQ !

Just bought two for the rear.

Is anyone running them on the street?

If so, are there any problems?

I was wondering how long they will last under normal driving.

I called their customer service and they couldn't tell me anything.

I discovered there load rating is much less than MT ET radials.

I got them when I got the Vette 2yrs ago and my alignment was off and I didnt catch it so I ruined the tires! They were the best tires I have ever rode on... They were super sticky and grippy even in the rain! Dont know the wear though!

I think you two are thinking about a different Toyo tire.

These are like the Mickey Thompson ET radials.
