Toyo proxes tq 315/35/18

[s197shockwave]

I just ordered these tires and should have them mounted by this friday.
Does anybody have a set??
I think this might be the next popular drag radial for us s197 owners. Not only are they near 13 inches wide but they have a good hight 26.7 inches..not to high no too low.

Will have pics up A.S.A.P..

I am currently running 18x10 94-04' offset saleens. I ordered the same wheels but in 45mm (05-+) offset so that the tires would not stick out.

I will let you all know how they fit and post pics.

Looking at those pics, they look like they have a decent amount of tread on them, I wonder how they'll work for a DD.

I dont trust drag radials in the rain.

 

[Tommygun]

Drag Radials like the Tq work just fine in the rain, I use to DD on my MT DR's and as long as you kept it under 60 they were fine. The Toyo seems to be a great tire so far, cant wait to try some myself. Another new tire is the all new (2nd time) Goodyear DR, its getting good reviews with the 275 racers and they have plans of having 17/18/19/20 in versions.

 

[s197shockwave]

I have used the nitto's DR in both 275 and 305 in the rain and had no issues what so ever.
I hear the BFG drag radials are the ones that slide all over the place in the rain.

Getting my tires today, might have pics by tonight!!

Ryan

 

[94tbird]

[s197shockwave]

They fit perfect!!!
And there is still more space. I can see a 335/30/18 fitting under these cars!!

The wheels are 18x10 ( I measured 10.5" with my tape) saleen replicas from cruizin concepts 45mm offset.
I paid $230 a tire.
I will take some nice pics this weekend and test them out on the street.

Ryan

^^^ yes she is lowered. I took those new pics right after I released the jack so its a good chance the rear suspension was expanded and needed some time to setle.


They do stick out but its about a 1/16" of inch. Mostly looks flush.
I know they will not rub because my old wheels and tires stuck out almost a 1/2" (94-04 offset 18x10 ) and had very little rubbing issues.

I will have some nice pics up this weekend.
Have not tested the grip yet.
