[quote=""Waka""][quote=""4.8isFred""]The tyre outfit do have the Han's in ready to be fitted. Speaking to them the other day the toyo proxes are discontinued or along those lines and dont have them in stock but do have toyo st1's which are the latest toyo tyre or some name like that.[/quote]

Toyo Proxes ST (ST1?) have not been discontinued. There do seem to be Toyo Proxes ST2, but I've only seen them for sale in the States. Are they only recommending tyres they've got in stock? ;)

I've got no experience of Hankook, I've got Proxes ST all-round, and given the grip and wear over the past year, I can't see the point in spending more on a tyre.[/quote]

Where did you source yours what did you pay?

I got my fronts from tyretraders earlier but they seem to have gone up a fair bit since I got them:

The toyp proxes have been discontinued. And NO they dont want to sell me what they have in stock :| .

How do you know they aren't discontinued when you purchased your tyres over the past year or so as you said in an earlier post. also on 19" :roll: .

I have used the same tyre outfit for the last 8 years and i can assure you they are discontinued now. Maybe some company's have old stock knocking about but not in my region!
