^ i think they are going to be close to my toyo's performance - im soon going to need a better grip and also something that lasts longer (toyo's didnt last all that long).

 

I really like my general altimax hp tires, I got them about 2 months ago. They are pretty good, it has rained here almost this whole month and not once have i hydroplaned or really even felt a slip. Dont think they are great for people that are hard on their car, but for me and my relaxed driving they suit me perfect.

I got 36k out of the stock bridgestone turanza el400s, and they have half of the tread wear rating the generals have. If i get 45k out of them I will be pretty happy

 

just ordered a set of these for 378.88 because discountiredirect is having a $50 off all orders for today only. Also today is the last day to qualify for the $50 rebate from hankook. so basically its $100 off! i think this is a great deal for these tires.

 

^tirerack says: Ventus V12 evo is not intended to be driven in near-freezing temperatures, through snow or on ice

 

that is because it is a summer performance tire

 

i have the toyo proxes 4's as well but the sidewalls are not stiff enough for me so the next set of tires will probably be the direzza star specs.

 

I got some Kumho AST's with road hazard at Discount Tires installed for $396. That was this last weekend so I dont have an extensive review but so far they are much quieter on the highway than the stock yokohama's and handle much better on the wet road than the yokohama's.

 

yup dunlop star specs are great with handling, great for auto cross.. though proxes 4 are sticky too, good for straight and wet traction they just wear easily

 

Nitto Neo Gens...

 

yea i like the proxes 4 as well but i dont think the side walls are stiff enought tho.

 

^ yea i wouldnt get them again either. My friend sells this stuff and gave me the two above that i posted. They were price in the low 100's and also $180 mark for two diff grades - he said those are a lot better then what we are all running - he so happens to work at discount tire in SC. Price wise w/ free shipping they work out the best. I used to like tirerack but they inflate their prices too much now that they have been around for a while.

 

yea im gettin the star specs in the spring. i have been reading the reviews and it seems that they are about as good as the falken azenis. and like my sig says i take turns like a crackhead runnin from the popo so im i need a little better tire.

 

im saying go with toyo proxes 4, they are good all around tires.....im sorry if anybody already said that lol

 

^ yea - i have them on now but there are better - i ordered the ones for $179 that i posted in links above - came w/ a 45k warranty and should hold up better then the proxes4's - we shall find out. Ill give some feedback when i put them on in a few weeks

initally i put the proxes on because of cost. now w/ the turbo im looking for something that performs better because traction is constantly an issue w/ a LSD and turbo or s/c

 

how many miles did you get out of your proxes4's? how far down was the tread? i usually get rid of them with 4/32" left.

 

^ i dont even know - all i know is i needed new ones a few months ago but just didnt realize. All I know is i wore down my original set of oem's and this is what i replaced them with. This is what I just bought - they supossed to be reallly reallllly good:

Michelin Pilot Sport A/S Plus - $176.00

I heard that toyo proxie 4's are the best all season... I have nitto neo gens...just got them on and they are sticky in the dry heat...but i havent got much drive time on them in the rain or snow.... But they are super quiet on the highway compared to my yokohoma's ...you would have though i drove a diesel truck with all terrain tires haha

 

^ like i said - i will put the new ones on and rate them - for the cost they are good but there are better if you want to spend another $50/tire - the proxes wore fast - how fast im not quite sure ...maybe 25k miles

 

well their treadwear rating isnt that high, but you should have gotten more out of them than that. I got 36k out of my bridgestone turanza's and they have a lower treadwear rating. unless you drive hard.

 

^ i dont drive real hard but i dont drive soft either. Also, I like to turn quick so that eats into the tires also. My friend told me that these are better then the proxes for a similar cost:
BF Goodrich g-Force Super Sport A/S - $124.00
