I'm considering the Proxes4's. Good price, good reviews. The Falken FK452's also have a ton of good reviews and are priced equal to the Proxes4's. If I can convince myself to muster up a few extra bucks I'd even try the Nitto INVO's.

No experience on the SRT but have had them (kumhos) on past cars. Found them to be sticky dry, a lot less so in the wet and noisy as they wore. Based on that one set I decided to try other reasonably priced brands which I then found that I liked better than the Kumhos. Avons for example - although again not sure what kind of SRT experience people are having.

Try them, Toyos are recommended by DanRealtor, one of the highest mileage Lx'ers out there, and definitely the purchaser of MORE TIRES than anyone with an SRT.

They kick ass and they're dirt cheap! Even Kumho (sounds like I owe some chick some money) can't beat 'em!

kuhmo tires

I just put the Kuhmo 245/45/20's on my 300SRT and they work great. About 2,000 miles and three mild snow storms, work like a champ.

Right now I still have the goodyear stock tires on my car, but I'm purchasing the Toyo Proxies 4, I know a guy that has them on his CSRT8 and says the ride is alot better, but doesn't corner as well as the goodyears. He is also using nitrous.

i'm running 255/40/20 all around. So far I am pleased and there is a lot less road noise than the F1 Super's.
