I was surprised by the noise too. They really sing at highway speed. Much noiser that the Pirelli P-Zeros they replaced, or the Falken Azenis I use for auto-x. Well, live and learn. Back to Pirelli next time.

I went through 3 toyo proxes before realizing they were **** tires. i ripped the inside wall and had flats cause they suck. (not because of incorrect camber) plus the road noise sucks.

Be specific for which Proxes you use. I've used a set of 195/50-15 FZ4s (October 1999-May 2002), and I replaced that set with my current 195/50-15 T1-S tires. I Solo2 and hot lap frequently, and have had no problems.

Any tire can blow on the freeway...it doesn't matter the brand.

t1-s proxes is a good tire, I`ve had 3 sets over the years. I`ve never had a problem w/ road noise. Plus, they lasted a lot longer than other brands I have used.
