Wednesday, January 12, 2005 9:22 PM
I am looking at new tires in the spring. They will be 225/40/18 and I'm torn between the two. Below are the pics, any opinions or personal experiences are appreciated.

Those are the ones I am leaning towards, mainy because I can find them a tad cheaper than the Toyo's. <br>

^ Treadwear on the dunlops is not so great, look for BFG g-force in your size, much better tire and higher treadwear rating, costs alot less than dunlops. I had the FM901's on my motegi MR7's and they were worn down in 20,000k. FM901's were also noisier.
They did handle very well though (while they were new). Heres the performance test data on the Dunlops vs the BFG G-force.

I've had the Proxes 4 since October and I really like them. I highly recommend them. Just curious what you found them for price wise. I found mine for $87a tire. <br>

I have Proxes4's on my Cavalier and I LOVE them. They're good in rain/snow and they grip very well. Plus I got mine for 50 bucks a tire (bought from a friend brand new cause he sold his car he was gonna put them on).

nitto is made by toyo.

the neogens are basically the budget version of the proxes 4's.

nittos are less priced, but treadwear is 280. toyo higher priced, twice the same neo gen tread and treadwear of 300.

im happy with my proxes 4. i think toyo doesnt make them any more tho. so if you buy them and run into a flat down the road you might not be able to get a replacement. But they are good tires.

They still make em. I got mine back in March from ImPhat0260. I love them. They hold the road better then my Falkens.

They still make them, i just got mine 2 days ago. and although they title them as all seasons I would not recomend driving them in the snow. And the BFG G-Force are good but get ready for a bumpy ride...Really stiff.


I have one true love in my life...And my girlfriend sits next to me in it

i like my falken ziex 512's. traction and temperature rating A, treadwear rating 360. price difference between it and the neogens is only a few dollars a tire (falken is cheaper by 3$ at discount tire direct)

you def gottta try an AA traction rating next time. i;ve been using A for a while now. and granted i lost 20 on treadwear going to these, so far, seems worth it.

i got these for 100$ locally a piece so i def will not complain on that

They stopped the Toyo Proxes FZ4s which got replaced by the Toyo Proxes 4s.
