Dingo Posted March 14, 2012 Report Share Posted March 14, 2012 Any doubts I might've had about the general suckiness of the Pirellis went away when I put these on. They're cheaper, quieter, have better traction, and have better ride quality in general. I couldn't be happier. Everyone go buy these immediately.

igcitng Posted March 14, 2012 Report Share Posted March 14, 2012 I love my Pirellis. I had no problem getting through the snow this winter. The Michelins on my 2008 were horrible, driving in snow was very difficult. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can assume they are not Pirelli's but not sure what they are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dingo Posted March 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2012 (edited) Buy what exactly? I can assume they are not Pirelli's but not sure what they are. Toyo Proxes ST II Sorry, brain-farted on mentioning that. Edited March 14, 2012 by Dingo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richy Posted March 14, 2012 Report Share Posted March 14, 2012 Andy, I had Proxies on my FX35 and hated them. They were noisy and not very good in wet weather. I hope they've improved them since then. What I did like about them is that the lip of the tire protruded from the rim which protected them. They looked amazing, but the actually performance of them was a letdown for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tire rack doesn't have the size in 20"--- However, they'd have to go some to improve my experience with the OE Pirellis--- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't had these ST IIs before, but everything I've heard is amazing. I've got 500 miles or 45 days to see if I like 'em for free, so I'll test them thoroughly.

I got them about 6 years ago so I don't remember exactly. They did do very well on dry pavement if you were pushing them through an onramp or something. I just found a lot of tire noise from them when driving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's so funny I was considering getting those Toyo's, now I just have to wait and see how to like them. Did you get them with the same speed rating?

Sam I Am Posted March 18, 2012 Report Share Posted March 18, 2012 Have you had a chance to test them out throwing the Edge through the corners and seeing how it handles now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
