I like my Toyo Proxes S/Ts.. Never had a problem out of the few sets ive had. but the rear ones always wore down very fast.. Now the the 4L80E in there, the rear are lasting alot longer.

Cant help ya in the Snow & Ice part, down here in mississippi if it snows its gone before you can get out to your truck.. And i get the 275/60/16s for $106 each.

I would say, from looking at them now, I will more than likely get 30,000 miles out of them. I hope I can get a few thousand more than that. I should be rotating them more often than I do but I am bad about doing that.

Rotation is the key to gettin the extra miles outta tires. If I get some UHPs & after 20k they're gone, I'll be . That's bordering on drag radial longevity. I had some Comp T/A Drags on my Camaro. Got about 1 season of beatin on...I mean use out of em. They hook & my ETs dropped!

I won't buy Americraps again, but may consider the Genearl Grabber UHP. I read some reviews & price is decent.

Keep it coming guys. I appreciate the input thus far.
The Avenger's were the best tires I've ever driven on in rain; and that's on a 3.73 geared peg-leg. The Courser's aren't bad at all either but weren't as good as the Avenger's.
