Wzup?
I noticed some fellow Solara owners are looking for some great tires for their ride. I thought I would share my chioce of tire with you all. My GF suggested these tires to me because she has them on her Lara (ZoomZoomThis05) and she has had only positive things to say about them. I got the Toyo Proxy TPT's about 3 days ago. These tires are awesome! Thanks Jesa! :D

I will be using these tires for the winter time and then I will be getting some 18" wheels with the Toyo Proxy Fo's. The side walls on the tire are thick which means good handling and the groves (yellow arrow) are excellent in dissipating water. The middle rib (yellow circle) is designed for good stability. I also got these tires siped (little cuts across the tire) which is awesome for even better traction which is what I wanted. I had 205/65/15 Bridgestone touring tires before these. I upgraded to 215/60/15 on the TPT's. Handling is awesome, the ride is quite & you feel confident when turning your Lara because you can feel the grip!

I had to have a little fun with these tires so I decided to see how far I could push them. I gunned it from the stop light and I barely could loose traction….I mean barely! I took a 65 degree corner at about 50mph and I didn't get that annoying tire squeal. These are some damn sticky tires! Mine where $107.00 per tire plus $41.00 siping for all four. Here are some pics of the tires. Pardon my cell phone picture quality...Lol.

Here is a good website for those who didn't know about siping and how it benefits your tires.http://www.sipers.com/sipers/better_traction.asp

There are a lot of great tires out there as well. I hope this info helps anyone that is still looking for a great tire. Good Luck! 8)

Actually the tread design looks nice... good choice. I'm wondering how long the tires will last.

I had a set of those, they are quite nice. treadwear is 300 I think, which is pretty good. Mine were V rated.

Siping is good but you cannot sipe a Z rated tire, because the rubber on those is soft. You would be dropping rubber chunks everywhere.
