Just found these to order, liked the look so I searched and found these pics:

well got the tires put on, seem to be about the same as BFG as far as traction, make more noise once they let loose though

seem to ride a little firmer

look pretty tough, but make the BFG on the front look too bland...

only other thing is I do kinda miss the white letter look, just looks right on a classic style wheel...but oh well

I'll get some pics tomorrow or so

what type of Toyos are they? i have Proxis R's but have not ran them yet 285/45/18
the tread pattern looks good on them and the car

Toyo Proxes S/T

didn't get pics today, but did drive it again, now that the "new" is getting worn off they seem to be hooking extremely well...been so long since I had new tires I dunno if this is normal

yesterday they were about the same as my old BFG Radial T/A, but I drove around town a bit, did a small burnout behind work and stuff...and now they don't spin from a stop anymore unless I really try by loading up the converter and stuff

I'm pretty pleased, especially for $300 delivered
