I have the Proxes 4 and love em. Took a FAASST road course class last week and put a serious beating on them with no problems they get great traction. I had a blast on Louisianas only road course (No Problem Raceway) and was thoroughly impressed with there performance. They feel way more surefooted than the Goodyear F1's. Hope this helps

M,

greatly appreciate the feedback. If I could ask further questions? what sizes are you running? are you still on stock 20's?

[Maistro69]

yes stock 20's and sizes 245/45/20 up front and 255/45/20 out back

No complaints on the Toyo's. Drive mostly nice roads in Texas, haven't broke them loose yet on a curve. Kind of noisy on rough surfaced roads, but quiet on regular roads and silent on new asphalt.

I have Nitto 555's on my E55 and they stick to the pavement well. Very hard to make squeal and break loose. The Nitto Invo is better.

I gotta vote Toyo. They have been the most incredible change I could imagine, as my car came with crappy RSA's.

Dirt cheap, EXTREMELY sticky, and good in bad weather. What more could you want?

sorry to jump in on your thread but I am in the same boat as you and I think this too will hold relevance on you decision. I currently have the Toyo P4 on mine and am seriously looking at the above sizes and brand I have 275/40/20 in back on a 10" wide wheel and 245/45/20 in front on an 8" wide wheel. will the above fit on said wheels and if so are they any good? Or should I just stick with the Toyo's ?.

Not a problem Steve, hijack away

I ended up going with the Nitto Invos' ...they are rated better than both these tires, and I got them delivered to my door for $739.00 which was only around $50.00 more than both these options.

The NT-555R BTW...I could not find ANYWHERE for SRT8 wheels fitiments??? bizarre, if they were designed with this car in mind

Check the Invo out, its a real solid tire...

Hope this link works....here is the Invo tire
