Need to buy some new tires tomorrow and have been looking at the proxes 4 vs the Kumho Ecsta ASX for my 98 GSR

Looks like I can get the Kumhos in 195-55-15 for my blades. Don't make that size in the proxes so would have to go with something a bit bigger.

Any thoughts or suggestions. Anyone running these tires on their GSR? I did a recent search and just found proxes for sale.

Thanks!

 

if you cant find the toyos in 195-55-15 then go with 205-50-15

 

Thanks. I see the proxies listed in that size 205-50-15.

 

i'd go w/ toyo proxes 4, i have these on my db8 right now and i like em, but i would of loved to get my hands on a set of bg goodrich kdw2's but out of my price range

 

I"d go with the 205/50/15, it gives you a little more tire and it only throws your speedo off by 1 mph under. So if it read you were going 60mph you are actually going 59mph. I'm running 205/50/15 Falken Azenis and those things are awesom.

 

Cool. Thanks for the suggestion!

 

I have some kumho asx and they are wearing pretty fast. Faster than I'd like. They're worn over 3/4 of the way and I've had them for about 10 months. Next time I'm getting some vredesteins or two sets of wheels. Vredesteins are amazing.

 

Kumho asx ftw.......i havnt had the wear problem the other guy had.....they kept me on the road through thick and thin.....amazing preformance in the rain....and they grip nicly

 

Get the Kumho SPT, they offer more dry grip than the ASX and you can get them on tire-rack for 56 a piece!

 

No one had Kumhos in stock so I just wen with the Toyo Proxes 4. Look pretty good and ride alot better then what I had on before. Thanks for the hlp!.

how many miles on the tires so far? have you had an alignment lately? i'm wondering cuz i just got a set of them. my ziex 512's lasted about 20k, i'm hoping these can do at least that.

$61 a piece for the ecsta SPT @ tire rack.. jus got mines on last week... pretty good tires for the price

 

the asx and spt are 2 completely different tires. as you've probably noticed, the asx is an all-season tire while the spt is a summer tire. of course the spt will grip better in the dry, but how does it do in the snow, rain, and cold temps? probably not that great compared to the asx.

Probably around 10k. I got an alignment when the tires were mounted. The way I drive doesn't help either. But the vredesteins I had were awesome, esp. in the snow. I think it also had something to do with size in the snow, I had 195 vredesteins and now I have 205 kumhos. The 195's were def better in the snow.

 

I would go with toyos 205-50-R15.

Currently I have Dunlop Dirrezas 205-50-R15 on my GSR Blades and they are great.
I love em they get the job done!
