LindenBruce Posted July 18, 2017 Report Share Posted July 18, 2017 Hello All, Well, the old girl is just about ready for some new shoes. With 54k+ on the odo, I guess it was bound to happen right? I went to Les Schwab tires today and they only list one tire. I know there are lots of others, which I have checked out at America's Tires. But, I would like to knwo what you think of the one first. It is the Toyo Proxes 4 plus. 104 load rating and W speed rating. They had one on the shelf. I liked the tread pattern and the look of the tire. It has 50K tread wear warranty. The size is 255/45ZR-19XL. So what do you guys think of this tire? Thanks, Bruce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tss Posted July 18, 2017 Report Share Posted July 18, 2017 I guess the first question is do you really need a Z rated tire? The Z rated tire will likely not last as long as your first set of tires 54,000 miles. I don't know anything about that particular tire.

LindenBruce Posted July 19, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2017 Well I really don't need a Z rated tire for sure. And I don't do snow in the SHO (LOL). So maybe go with a set of Michelin P Zeros then? Bruce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LindenBruce Posted July 19, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2017 The car has the Michelin Primacy on it now. I don't like their look. They have narrow shoulders which give the appearance the rims are to wide. But the rims are factory. So I am looking for a tire with a wider shoulder. So how about the Michelin Pilot Super Sport? Or the Pirelli P Zero? Both of those have a better visual apperance and about a hundred bucks cheaper each than the Toyos. BUT, the Toyo has a 50k mileage guarantee. The Michelin has a 30k. And the Pirelli has? Nothing. Thanks, B. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LindenBruce Posted October 11, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2018 Okay, I got the Michelin Pilot Super Sport about a month ago. Very smooth riding. They grip the pavement like Velcro. Now I have to wait for winter to see how they do there. B. SHOdded 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
