Default New tires.

Going to be getting the new tires for the Timeless 6's next week. Some of you already know but I've had a set of 4 B. Coddington 18x8 Timeless 6's sitting on my garage floor waiting for tires for the last 2-3 months. I'm going to be running 255/55/18 Toyo Proxes S/T's. I really liked them when I had my 20's so I decided to go with them again. I'll be sure and post up some new pics when I get them on.

I think you should just go with a 30" rim package Jeff.

you'd be the shizdizzle!




Back to the real subject...Jeff what is the tread wear rating on the Toyo Proxes S/T if you know?

Heck yeah! Damn those are some big wheels.

I checked on Toyo's website and they list the Proxes S/T's as having UTQG treadwear rating of 420. I know my 20's had alot of life left when I sold them.

Mainly the weight. The 20" wheel/tire combo I was running weighed 75lbs each. Also, even though I liked the wheels, I really wanted something either chrome or polished.
