    wracks is looking for some mileage though. Not sure how the Vreds compare to the Nitto Invo's? I'm guessing the Proxes 4 would last the longest? I think the Invo's might give decent mileage with very little compromise in performance?

    Yes Dave, the Proxes will last the longest of those 3 listed and I think they're the best compromise between good handling and good mileage. The Invos are pretty soft and my buddy did not get very good mileage out of time. I'm about to put a second set of Proxes 4's on my ride soon.

    I have had both type of stoke tires on my car the Proxes 4's and vred. If you want a long lasting tire that is an excellant overall all year tire then Proxes 4's by far are the best bang. I got 25,000 hard track and street driving out of them. And they ran great in light snow! If cold weather is not a problem for you then Vred's are my 2nd choice! They are excellant in the rain but just like any soft tire you don't want to run around doing burn outs as they won;t last very long lol. You can get either of these tires at a very great price.

    Toyo Proxes 4's. I've got 30,000 mild miles on a set and I'm guessing I can squeeze another 20,000 out of them if I keep taking it easy.

    I am running the Conti cross contac UHP on my 10, Seems to be a very good tire IMO. Another tire not made in China.

    I'm running the Toyo's Proxes 4's also. I think they're a pretty good all around performing tire and the treadwear is pretty good. I went through the rears in a year and a half, but the fronts still have at least 1/2 tread left on them. If you don't burn them up to much, the Proxes will last quite a long time.

    You do know that the LX platform does not have run flat tires, right?


    Only SRT8 model that sports run flats are the Jeeps.

    I also run the Toyos, working my second set onto the car and I'm pleased with how they perform and how they hold up. And I do fight through a little snow here in Cincinanti.
