I had a nail that cut into my OE Yokohama E70 on my 2008 Toyota Estima Aera G at about 1.5 year (30,000 km mileage). I changed all 4 tyres to the Toyo Proxes 1CS.
Let's talk about the positive side of this tyres
1. It has a treadwear rating of 300, Traction rating of AA and temp. of A.
2. Steel belted on the tread side that made it very insubsceptible to nail puncture. In fact, I saw a screw that breaks half way and did not penetrated the tyre.
3. It is reinforced and can carry extra load. Mine is rated at 98, enough for 3000kg of laden weight.
4. Even tyre wear at the edge of the tyre. This is very good as I don't get the wear off at the edges of the tyre anymore.
Now the negative
1. It is only quiet when new. When the tread level goes below half worn, it is noisy.
2. If you don't have a lot of tyre shop that deliver Toyo in your area, please do not get this as Toyo is very difficult to source in certain area.
3. It has a bumpy feel even I applied tyre UV protector on the sidewall weekly and this tyres are less than 1 year old only. Maybe due to the stiffer sidewalls.
This is a good tyre if country have good Toyo dealership and support.
