Toyo Proxes St vs. Hankook Ventus St Rh06
Ok fellow members. I'm split between these two tires. I get them both for $406 for the set. I almost went ahead and bought the hankooks, but saw the toyo's for the same price. So, which ones are better? Couple things i like about the toyo's are the load rating (110 compared to 106 of the hankooks), tread pattern, and a rim guard. They both have the same tread wear rating.

I used to run Toyo Proxes on my Eclipse, and they were a great handling, smooth as silk touring tire. Much better than either the Pirelli P series, Yokohama, or orginal factory tires. I would reccommend them.
Hankook is a Korean brand trying to make a name for themselves. They seem popular with the import crowd, but I have no experiance with their ride. I do know that Kia uses Hankook in their base Optimas, but the upper models ride on Michelin Energys. That kinda tells me something.

I had a set of hankooks. They didnt last me a week. Then again, no tire lasts longer then 2 months for me ( on average ). I wouldn't use toyo's if they were given to me.
Something to remember.. your tires are the only thing that touches the ground on your vehical. Its the WORST place to skimp on.
Am I biased? You betcha. For having a 2003 vehical and going through 3-4 sets of tires a year, I think I have earned an opinion that says theres a reason some tires cost more then others.
I'd wait, save the cash, and aquire a *better* set of tires.
The tires your listing have been tested on all sorts of CARS, not trucks with our lame suspensions. Those tires are going to react a whole bunch different with our setups then the info given.
