I'm saying that from the OEM tire size to the 225 I feel a better response from the car in dry and wet conditions plus I'm not the only one who has upped the size because of this. just my opinion.

Spect2K3

Cool. Any other opinions? So far I have 1 for 215 and 1 for 225. lol

Spect2K3

bump, still looking for some opinions as to which to get, 225s or 215s?

sciontc_mich

well you know mine... my vote is for the 215's

beas_tc_oupe06

if your aware of where your car is (i.e. wheels in relation to curbs) when you drive, and your car isnt rediculously fast, go with the 215s.

They technically should corner slightly better as your going to have a slightly shorter thus stiffer sidewall.

What you notice between the two will be negligable so save the 15 some dollars a tire...

toyo is a good brand when it comes to tires imo. i purchased toyo proxes fz4, a cheaper alternative to the proxes 4. it rides smooth

sparky2002

why don't you try the 500 mile offer Proxes 4 is eligible. call them and find out more East Coast: 1-888-444-8696

i got mine about 3k miles ago and no complains at all, better than yoko s32 imo. but i'm in socal so not much rain and never snow.

i got mine for either 98 or 100 per tire and mount/balance is $40 plus tax. cheapest i can find around me.

Spect2K3

I will try em out, but i'm really at the point that i know they'll be great. I'm just trying to find out if people would vote for the 215s or the 225s. I wouldn't know which is better by testing em out. I mean, i dont wanna mess with the odo or speedo, but this may be very insignificant. I dunno, any opinions on this would be great

Spect2K3

bump for opinions, I don't want to start a new thread for a poll...i take up enough internet space lol

Spect2K3

I started a new thread hoping to get some votes/opinions. Here is a link in case anybody stops by here with some tips:

i was about to go ape ____nit on the comment about the toyo p4 not being an all season.. IT IS.. But i see the person corrected himself...

I have these tires and they are AWESOME!!!! AWESOME IN THE WET...

Hope you get them, you will not be dissapointed...

LAter.

Spect2K3

Cool, thanks for the positive review. I'm pretty sure that i'm going to go with em, i'm still just up in the air about the size.

What do you think about the way they handle in the wet weather?

rvpps2rocks

my parents have that tire on there 06 gs300 and they handle like a dream in the rain and dry and they are not loud...GREAT TIRES

Spect2K3

awesome, thats exactly what i'm looking for!

Follow-Up: I ended up going with the 225/45-17 on the stock rims. I paid $113 a tire which is the same as the 215s would've cost me.

Holy damn, these things are some GREAT tires, they are sticky and make the handling incredible. What an improvement over stock!

The only question i have, is that someone told me to make sure that the yellow dot lines up with the plug, and I told them to make sure of that, but the guy told me that they have a computer detect where the most dense (i think thats the word he used) part of the tire is. 2 of them are mounted with the yellow dot at the plug, and 2 aren't even close. Is that ok????

sciontc_mich

yes if the yellow dot is within maybe 2-3 inches of the valve stem, that's fine.. but on the left side of the car you shouldn't see the yellow dot. Since that dot is on the right side of the tire, these are directional tires. When mounting these tires on the the left side wheels, that dot would be on the inside of the wheel/tire assembly. If you see the yellow dot on the left side tires, GO BACK TO THE TIRE SHOP.. since they would be rotating backwards.. lol

the roadforce balancer is what he's talking about (mechanic) and i don't ever listen to that machine.. I tell em to put the yellow dot at the valve stem and just balance the tire. The tire maker already knows where the lightest spot of the tire is (yellow dot).. so i don't need some machine to tell me that again. anyway.. if it's smooth riding.. don't worry about it

congrats on the toyo proxes4.. told you they were that good.. lol

Spect2K3

Yea, i dont see the dot on the left side...lol that'd be a problem. On the right side, one dot is lines up perfectly and the other is abot 6-7 inches away from the valve. Like you said though, its driving smoothly! Thanks!

SCION_X

cograts on your tires, i love mine... won a buyer for life...

Spect2K3

You know it, and according to sciontc_mich, the best is yet to come!!!! YEA BABY!!! haha

sciontc_mich

yup break em in and then it gets even sweeter
