    New Shoes and very happy-pics

    I called around a lot to get the best OTD (out the door) price for four Toyo Proxes 255/55/18's and I think I found a great deal. I got the tires installed and filled with nitrogen for $635.22 plus 12 months no interest financing. That is almost $100.00 less than some others prices I was quoted. And I LOVE the look of these tires and they seem to ride very nice, I havn't done a lot of driving since they have been installed. The wife has the car now so I will post picks later.

    Let me know if you think I got as good a deal as I think I did.

    Sounds like a good deal to me. You should have bought some new rims to match and kept the stocks as back-up.

    Pics to come tomorrow, been too busy to stop and get that done. I do want new rims but don't have the mula since I just built a BBQ island and I needed to buy the BBQ to go in it. One day though, one day.

    I really like the look, and when these need replacing, hopefully the mod money will be there for new wheels. Still going to go with the Proxes when that happens, they are very nice tires.

    Don't take this the wrong way Amazn1....but your ass end looks nice! LOL that is a nice looking ride man. I bought some Proxy 4's for my 300c for non-winter use 255/45/r20 this spring. I love em! The ride nice, are pretty quite, are pretty sticky in the corners and are excellent on wet roads and standing water.
