SW03ES Posted June 10, 2004 Posted June 10, 2004 Well I spent the last two days detailing the Lexus after our trip to the VA mountains (it was filthy). Compounded with Meguiars DACP, followed by Wolfgang polish, two coats of Wolfgang sealant, and one coat of Meguiars #16 paste wax. here's the end result: And here are the new Toyo Proxes TPT's! Cool tread :D
lexusk8 Posted June 10, 2004 Posted June 10, 2004 Nice to see another ES sittin' on Toyos :whistles: B)
jbarhorst2 Posted June 10, 2004 Posted June 10, 2004 Car looks great. Please let me know what you think about your new Toyos. I am thinking about getting the same tires for my SC300 this fall. Thanks Tom
SW03ES Posted June 11, 2004 Author Posted June 11, 2004 I love them! I just got back from Falls Church, put about 40 miles on them round trip and they ride great. There's a little shimmy at 75+ but the installer thinks they just need to set in, he seems right as its getting better. If its not gone by monday he's going to rebalance the front tires. They're also great looking tires, nice black rubber...
Lexusfreak Posted June 11, 2004 Posted June 11, 2004 Looks awesome sw! :D B) & lexusk8 spoke for both of us with his comments! Enjoy my friend. :)
steviej Posted June 12, 2004 Posted June 12, 2004 tread design is similar to that of the Dunny A2. SW, are they quieter than the previous bridgies, the same or noisier? steviej
SW03ES Posted June 12, 2004 Author Posted June 12, 2004 Definately quieter and smoother, no question. It rides like a Lexus should now, totally silent and like driving on glass. Heavy rain tonight and they had plenty of grip. As for the rattles mine never really rattled like yours es14, but the ride is significantly smoother so I think if there were rattles they'd be lessened.
Lexusfreak Posted June 14, 2004 Posted June 14, 2004 Glad your happy with your new tires sw! I posted an EXCELLENT article from Motor Trend in the wheels & tires section & it's worth a look. The wet weather traction on the TPT I agree are fantastic! B)
