Default i really wana try these new toyo proxes TQ drag radials

for one they are cheap which is awesome...cheaper then even nittos. i can get them for 360 shiped. they are also made by toyo which make some of the best tires out there. from wat i see they should have a stickier tread then the nitto with a 00 treadware rating compared to the nitto 100 rating. i think this tire should fall directly between the nitto and the mickey in terms of stickiness and treadlife. plus they make some awesome sizes. im getting the 315s on some 17x10.5 rims if i do get them. they also have this 275/45/16 size that i think is cool. they say on their site that it will fit a 8.5 rim but im sure we could get it around are stock 16x8 rims pretty easy and its 26" tall. they do make a 255/50/16 also but i wuld try the 275 personally.

from the looks of them they are cool...just got to deside to pul the trigger or not. if i dont get these im gettin the mickeys. i did want somehting more suited to the street thats why im thinking about these...i wont be racing with them im going to have some slicks for that lol.

what you guys think?

You would need to PM the link to where they are being sold, if you dont mind shoot me a PM with the link, the link you posted to Toyo's website should be fine though.

I got my Tq's in 255/50/16 for super cheap. Mounted them on myself yesterday. They're my first Drag Radial so i cant really compare to the others but compared to my street tires they hook amazing. I should be heading to the track next week, i'll make sure to post how they performed.

I'm also curious on how these tires are(hook/mileage). I'm looking to get the 315/35/18 for my 10.5 wheels. Tiredeals4less can have them shipped to me for $520. Keep us updated.

Treadwear rating is 0, they all are that I know of, I haven't looked at the nitto's, do they actually have a rating?
