Toyo Proxes TQ Drag radials
Anybody buy these? Any reviews? Tire rack didn't have any. I read product specs they seem equal to M/T, Bf goodrich or Nitto Drag radial-price is right too! THANKS IN ADVANCE

Yep I had them for 2 years on my Mustang and loved them. Basically they wear like a Nitto 555R, but stick closer to a BFG. If you are mainly a street car with ocassioanal track visits I highly reccommend them

I have these in 315/35/17s. They are a lot wider than the Nitto 555Rs. They hook a lot better and wear just as good. I have 14k miles on them and could easily get another 2-5k out of them depending on how I use them.
I cut a 1.72 with my cam only car and I think I could've got a slightly better 60ft but didn't have the tools to adjust my suspension at the track and my trans blew it's 3-4 clutch pack two days later.
I got mine from Tire Crawler.

Thanks to all, I ordered 315/35/18 for the rears. $261.00 per tire on Tire Rack. That's quite a savings $$ over same size tire in Nitto, BF Goodrich, M/T or Goodyear! I also like the fact I get just a little more sidewall than the 315s w/ 30 aspect ratio. I know Nitto has 315s with 40 aspect ratio but they're pricey for my budget.

A friend of mine runs them on his turbo car. He really likes them. They were great on the street and he still hooked pretty well with them. Went LOW 11's with them driving right in off the street. He only had them in a 255/50/16, but he just bought some new ones with his new wheel setup and the rears are a 345/40/17. Should be significantly better. His first set lasted about 5-6k miles, and they were not easy miles by any means.
