Default time for new tires

hey im running the old proxes and i love them, but cant get any of them anymore, i only need to replace 2, im running a 2/4 drop and a 265 50 r20, is there another size i can run and still fit decently, and i need something that will hook pretty good but can take a few million burnouts

I'm also running the old proxes and love them. Given that, I will stick with Toyo when I have to change. I think you should look at their new STII's. They claim better performance, although they don't look as good. Are you looking to stay at the same height? I would definitely try and go wider than 265 if possible.

I am running the new proxies and I really like them. I was kinda unsure at first but I like them, they hook really well, they are great in the rain, I even cut better 60's at the track, compared to my General UHP grabbers....
