I was debating on Yokohama S-Drive and Toyo Proxes 4. But now, I think I'm going to get Proxes 4.

and when we look for trie for the GS300, we have to look for the V(speed Ratings)? can we go for H? i don't think people going to drive like 149/mph, anyone got any ideal?

X6. I have the Yokohama 520's, and they were a VERY nice upgrade from the absolutely horrendous BFG's that I mistakenly bought and went through in less than 20K miles. I am not a hard driver on tires, as I prefer to buy a quality tire and have it last. The Yoko's have yet to disappoint in heat (very important for me), rain, or slippery conditions. Quiet, well mannered, and still able to provide good traction when passing or getting onto the freeway. I had Michelins prior to the BFG's, and they were good, but replacing them would have been almost double the money of the Yokos - with no tread life guarantee. No thanks. I'll take a tire that should give me 60K for my money and roll along very happily.
