Toyo proxes

[Nate]

Any of you lot fitted the new Malaysia made toyo proxes?

Any thoughts on them, good or bad?

[Bigmills74]

Just fitted some on all fours but not ran them yet,once I pass my m.o.t tomorrow I'll see how they are. One pair were Cf1s and the other Cf2s. Dumb question but is the country of origin on the tyrewall?

[Nate]

Yup.

Was hoping someone had either pxt1r or px4 which are their "sporty" ones, but still interested if yous are Malaysia

I have Toyo Proxes 4 fitted to my GT2, were fitted last April and are great. Good wet weather grip and awesome in dry. Got mine from EARS Motorsport at Macclesfield (through e bay) @ £169.99 for 4, balanced. Tyres are 195-45-16.
T1-R were not much dearer though.

Are they Japanese or Malaysian made?

[Mark H]

How could I tell??

[Nate]

The words "made in malaysia" or "made in japan" might give you a hint

[Mark H]

No mention of "made in malaysia" or "made in japan" on side wall at all.

[Nate]

It will be on the sidewall, near the model number. Small writing though

Yeah mines are made in Japan,only ran them in for 10 miles yet. First thoughts are they have better grip in the wet and a bit quieter than my old pirellis. They were only £37 a tyre so seem good value for the money

[Mark H]

Mine are stamped "made in Japan"
