I'm thinking that the Toyo Proxes that moose is riding on are that size, however I know you use the top end on your car, and they are not rated for the high speeds, you wouldn't be able to go above 140mph without taking a risk.
I am running the Toyo Proxes 4's (255/45/20's all the way around) and Moose is running the Toyo Proxes 4's (275/40/20's all the way around) and we both LOVE these tires. They are speed rated at 168 mph. So now I don't keep it over 168 for "Extended Periods of Time" anymore.
BTW: I ran Willow Springs last October with DrBReed and our cars were almost identical, except he had the Quaife and I didn't. His car was a couple seconds a lap quicker than mine. The Quaife is definitely in my future mods list.

How is the installation, is it hard ? & how long did it take to be done ?
I thought that Moose had said the speed rating was lower. Still might be an issue to him, as some of his videos push that 168 a bit more than most people get too. lol. I have to ask you just one more time as though you haven't repeated it enough. How does the dry traction compare or slightly sandy traction compare to the F1's, as I am always spinning them now?
The Toyo's are rated at 168mph. The F1'a re rated at 186mph. So Moose and I are driving slower now (sometimes).
I am running the Toyo Proxes 4's 255/45/20's all the way around, and I would say the dry grip is 95% as good as the F1's. The wet grip is 100% better. They look great, feel great, and are wearing a helluva lot better than the F1's, and they are less expensive.

Of all the LX's at California Speedway, guess which tires turned the fastest lap time?
Toyo Proxes 4.
That was AFTER the burnout contest, and the tires are still in good shape.
I aint NEVER goin' back to F1's!!!
With all due respect, do you think it coulda' been the driver?
Seriously - you could probably beat any of the rest of us no matter what tires we had or what tires you had.
The real question is: are YOUR lap times better on the Toyo's than YOUR times were with the F-1's?
(BTW: I installed Toyo Proxes 4's in size 245 45R20 on my front and 275 40R20 on my back yesterday)
