Hi everyone, I have found m,y wheels, buy i'm having a bit of a problem on choosing tires.

The wheels are 18" Flik Artics in Gloss Black.


Tires is where I am having a problem. I was leaning towards Nexens, but then I heard some horror stories about them. I am now leaning towards Toyo Proxes Fz4.

On the website with the wheels, they sell for $93 a tire.

But I have found them on eBay for roughly $150 shipped for all four tires.

Are these the same tires? Are they decent tires?

I am going to have to go one wheel at a time too, so i hope to have all four by December. NTB will mount and balance them for $11 a tire, and they will also transfer the wireless transmitters for $40.

Is there anyway to know if the transmitters will fit?

 

those should be good tires.. but the ebay store i think is selling them for 135 each... that what i got from reading the page .. but i could be wrong

 

^^^ exactly, the price is PER TIRE. if it were that cheap, i would buy 5+ sets.

 

I see, are the Toyo Proxes Fz4 good tires though?

 

I've nevered tried those tires before. so i have no idea about how they perform.

 

Be sure to ask for the new center caps when you order those. The new ones are MUCH better. Just get new tires when you order the rims. I would never buy used tires. You don't know how the previous owner drove on them. Bundle it with the Falken 912s or the Toyo Proxes for $20 more. (I would go with the Proxes if I had to choose between the 2.) Post pics after the install.

 

Okay, i don't plan on getting used tires, but the proxes are a good tire? What do the new center caps look like?
