Default PROXES STII's or VENTUS ST RHO6

Coming up on tire season...which one? The Proxes are about $80 more for the 4. Who's running the Proxes II and really likes them? I have gtten some great milage out of the originals.

I absolutely love the Hankooks. great in the rain and sand. I have way more traction than I had with the Kumho Ecsta STX's.

the new Proxes look like ****. That being said, I love my originals so I would lean towards Toyo, but I wouldn't hesitate to go with the Hankook's. They get good reviews on here and look good.

I will replace my current Hankooks with another set when it is time. Very satisfied.

I would go with the cheaper tire, yah I know they say you get what you pay for, but the hankooks are a awsome tire for the money, have decent traction, also do well in the rain...

Well if your talking generals, I have the uhp's also and can def tell ya that the 45mph burnouts that i had with the kuhmos is down to a slight break in traction, more of a long bark...

Hey Bill, where are you getting your tires from? Local or online? I've been on the hunt for tires too. Just trying to find a good price.

I love my Hankooks. Good traction but I don't make the power like you Trever. I know the Hankooks are made in Korea but were are the proxes made. Looked on tirerack and they say, depending on size, the General Grabbers are either made in USA, Portugal, Czech Republic, South Africa, or Germany. I'm determine to buy American made items this year.

Why not buy something made in America?
