Just got off the phone with someone at Nonstop Motor Sports and was quoted a price of $3250 for a set of VOLK SF-WINNING in mercury silver, shipped within 7 days with Toyo Proxy's.

A guy at a tire shop once told me that the Michelon Pilot Sports on my car are the best, but how do the Proxy's stand up. As far as I know they are speed rated.

I feel like this is a great deal! I called another place and they quoted $3060, but said they were back ordered and would not be available for 60-90 days. THAT SUCKS, its Spring weather round here and I'm ready now.

HELP!

 

if they have those wheels instock, then he's reals. if they aint got it in stock, he's full of it. Sf-Winning's are back ordered.

what Toyo Proxes are you getting with it? T1s'? those are f.ucking dope.

 

i have the Toyo's T1-S running 275 in the back and i looooove them, by far my fav tire so far

 

I would make him email you a picture of the wheels before you do anything - like sen_jen said, if he doesn't have them in stock, they HAVE to be special ordered because Mackin is not carrying them in their warehouse anymore...

 

Yeah, the SF-Winnings are on super back order. Even my sf challenges have been forever
So.. those T1S tires are supposed to be pretty good? Cause thats what are coming on mine.

 

I've been driving my Toyo Proxes T1 for a week now, and compared to the stock Michelin pilots, they are the same if not better. You can feel the grip on the road, like your driving on rails. Take my word for it you won't be dissapointed. Plus, i don't know why, but the ride feels smoother, maybe it's because I have more tread on the new tires. car not lowered.

Which Proxy's are better all around, the T1's or the Proxy 4's?

 

Better all around for what?

The T1-S, which are to be replaced by the T1-R, are high performance summer tires.

The Proxy 4's are more of a performance all-season tire.

Kind of comparing apples to oranges. Depends on what you are looking for.

 

The T1-R already has pricing on 1010tires.com, its $$$ though. Almost 300 a pop. THey look similar to the Eagle F1.

 

Which one's would you recmmend for S. Carolina weather? Rains alot here in the summer, but we NEVER see any snow in the winter.

 

Got the T1-S, amazing tire. Good in rain, has lasted 2 years with low wear, immediately improve traction, and not to mention they look good too. I also like the lip on the edge to protect the wheels a bit.

As far as in weather, well here in CT i take them off in october because it isn't necessarily the snow that only makes a difference it is the cold temperatures of the road. In cold temperatures summer tires lose traction. I go to all seasons or full winters from october-april here. So it depends on how your roads get. I was in savannah, GA for 4 years and I would have left them on there all year round if that is any comparison to you.

 

If you live in Florida, send me a PM.

 

T1S, is the only way to go. i love them.

 

in south carolina, the weather does get pretty bad, at times. i live in nc, and i went with the proxes 4. did not regret it. of course, i paid less than $200 per tire. but i didn't want to have to worry about my tires being able to handle the conditions of the road. they are categorized as a ultra-high performance all-season tire. the handling is awesome. it's all personal preference - trial and error.
