You want to read the "good news or the bad news"

The Good News is the Tires grip very well and I can take corners like no there, Toyo Proxes 4 Tire is a great tire, Can't wait to drive more and on the track.

The Bad news is A rim got Gouged good with two lines on the lip, Fresh marks and the guy said it was their fault, so I should be talking with them soon on resolving this issue and fixing this problem

Got to enjoy problems not lol

got to try to have some sense of humor,

as long as they fix it and it doesn't ruin any car shows for you, then it's okay

Hey Man, at least they admitted to the problem, and are willing to fix it! That kind of **** never happens to me, they always say they didnt do it!

For example, before I told my selling Chevy dealer where to shove it, I went to pick up my car from service, and there was a small scratch on the driver door about 5 inches down from the key hole (if the key was put into the key hole and left there to hang, the scratch is exactly where the keys hit the door) When I pointed this out to the dealer, they said it was like that. I said bull****, I've never even stuck my actual key in the door to unlock it, I always use the remote....Bottom line, they refused to take blame for what I knew was their fault, and that quickly ended my relationship with that dealer.

So, yea, it completly blows that they scratched your rim, but consider it good news that they are fixing it!

It's a miracle to find decent customer service in anything these days. If you find it, stick with it.

Thanks all, They are a very good shop they do our companies owners vehicles and some work for the comapny if they need it, They are great on the tire prices. They told me today there is a place that can fix the wheel, It will probably be done next week and we will see how it turns out.

I am happy they will try to resolve this issue.

These Toyo tires are awesome! It just rained here and I took the monte out and it grips like a champ, I hug the road well and my turning is like perfect.

My friend at work had nothing but compliments on how his toyo proxes run and said I would be satisfied and boy was he right. Best tires

Well at least you didnt got with a bfg traction at spec

I personaly recommend against these tires i abosutly hate them with a passion. These tires hydroplane in the slighest puddle and simply this tires suck.

Sumitomos are one of the best tires i have ever owned and there quite
