I love my new tires

I was one of those guys that was always asking about tires that were good for this car. Just to make sure that you guys know I am extremely impressed with the Toyo Proxes that I got.... I had previously had the F1's and a set of Avon Techs. The Toyos I got are not the factory size, but after taking a trip from South Texas to Mobile, Alabama last weekend, I had to report that these are smoother riding than anything else, and had better wet traction than anything else I have tried. Guys, I know that Chrysler says this size will rub, but I have not had any rubbing issues and the ride height is the same. Also the tread is awesome looking when parked with the wheels turned.

Toyo Proxes 275/40/20 all the way around.

Great report, Mojo. Lots of members have raved about the Proxes. Glad to hear you did not have any tire rubbing. And as we all know around here, you can't believe everything that comes out of the mouth of Chrysler.

I just got them last week. They are in the garage waiting for the new OEM rims I have a the powder coater. I am hoping to get them on the car this week. I am glad to hear what you have to say. Now if I could find how they are in the snow. And now to hear how many miles you can get out of them. One thing for sure I am loving burning the old tires. I have been running for 2 days with ESP off and man I slide everywhere Ha HA

very happy with toyos

I just had them put on a week ago, and man let me tell you, what a difference ! Smooth, That is the way the car should be out of the factory and much better wet traction then F1's.I also added new pads and rotors from Dave at Zeckhausen Racing. I am very happy with the add on's and would like to thank the guys who go out of there way to test new stuff & pass it on. THANKS!
I will post some pics tomorrow.
