Lord Ferguson Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 toyo proxes Sounds more like a disease than a make of tyre :D I won't be in to work today... I've had a dose of Toyo proxes \ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Ford Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 they are a good tyre Marky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Ferguson Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 they are a good tyre Marky. They must be grippy little buggers Mark... I always reckon a tyre is the most important part of the car... it's the only thing between you and the road I suppose... My car has some bloody rare tyres... they were only made for that model of car... the last time I popped one I had the only one in the country Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Ford Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 i they are very grippy in the wet and dry. yours are the rare black and round type Marky with a very high speed rating. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that expensive surprisingly... about ?125 a lump from memory... I had a Jag a few years ago.... Tyres for that were just crazy... only two manufacturers made tyres with sidewalls stong enough to hold the weight... I think they were about ?250 a corner.... what a rip-off... Wouldn't mind but the car was crap anyway - NEVER again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
