Sorry, I am about to go get my truck aligned then I will know more... So far they are quiet, they seem to handle well considering the truck is out of alignment... I will go get some WOT passes after the alignment... I was really hoping to go to the track but they closed due to the 26* weather... Actually the tread pattern is really starting to grow on me...

Well, honestly i am not impressed with the dry traction... I just did a few WOT runs and I think traction was better with my grabbers... With these my tires just light up with anything below 35mph 
... Another wierd thing is that before when I broke traction my truck would still go straight, with the new tires or drop the butt end of my truck starts to weeve back and forth... So IMO these tires are OK, they are harder than my grabber UHPs so maybe that is it... I dunno...

I was not impressed with my Toyo STs, I heard a lot say they have great traction before I bought them. They seem average to me. I had a set of Nittos before the Toyos that worked a lot better.

how much tire pressure are you running? from a 10-15mph roll, i hook up and boogie with close to 500rwhp and cal tracs with a finessed throttle stab to WOT. they feel almost as sticky as my old KDWs, but at nearly half the cost. then again, there is no street tire that will hold if i just slam the throttle at anything under 25mph.

im running 32 out back and 36 up front. if you had them installed at a trire shop, those guys tend to royally screw up tire pressures. its either gonna be at 20psi or 50psi. dangerous **** there.
another good note...one of mine balanced with ZERO lead. =)
i have a c notch with my 4-2 drop....makes a difference for sure. i recommend the belltech kit....much better than the DJM. i have not seen a chasis tech or mcgaugheys kit in person so cant say. what shocks do you have and what are you changing to?

interesting on the tread pattern, the more the wear the more tread patch you will gain. also on my original proxes, right off the bat with them new, traction sucked. but with gettin some miles on the traction got alot better
