Got the new Toyo Proxes' slapped on and balanced this morning. Along with 8 new valve stems and i had to replace a broken stud in the rear.
and... Thank God the wobble is gone!
These tires felt great. Obviously you feel the road a little more than the big ol bubble 265/70/18's i was rockin on the funky Nissan Titan wheels. But i took it up to about 80 and no shakes.
i do love the way these toyo's look and i am very happy that i stepped down to a 40 series instead of the 45's that were on it. Should help once she comes down to earth.

Dang that's a steal for those tires! Might have to look into Amazon for that cuz I'll be needing tires for my NNBS 20s soon.

yeah, not much more than all those terrible off-brands on eBay. i used to get my tires from a place in Cali. But Toyo's for that price seemed damn good. First time i bought tires off Amazon

Looking really nice man. New pair of shoes always makes a big difference.

Forgive my stupid, but why 8 stems?

Foose wheels have 2 stems on every wheel. one for TPMS (if needed) and one for regular. 1 is real close to the outer edge of the inside of the wheel. the other is close to the center of the weel. they are both behind the face. you can see em here

What is the thinking behind this?

something about that outside part being the only way the TPMS sensor will fit. i have read mixed things about it. saw this too. it's all a bit odd. but i am sure there is a smart correct answer somewhere.
The two valve stems help in exchanging ambient air for Nitrogen. One stem is used to bleed off the ambient air while nitrogen is put in the opposite stem.

Glad your shaking is gone and you can rest easy. Now if you could find me some 26" Toyos for $600 you'd be my hero.

I'm thinking of leaving my own club soon anyway
Btw good sir, this is no budget build thread
I don't think I'm anywhere near legend status with my build. I just installed long tubes and got a total of one comment lol. Must have angered the forum Gods.

Nah, just not all of us comment other than the occasional "Nice build!"
Nice build, btw... I followed your sig link over to your GS400 build and read that as well. I wish I had that kind of confidence in myself to do paint work
