In Reply to: Tire Treadwear Temp/Traction rating?, B Millar

My VW Transporter Kombi wears 235/50-18s which will be expensive to replace and I was looking at the Toyo ST Proxes because they should work in light snow. They also come in a high enough load rating. Comments on the web say they wear fast but clearly you are pleased with yours - which type are they, please?

By the way, the van came with Pirelli Scorpion STRs which were absolutely fantastic in the snow this January, but I had to replace them because they were only a 97 load rating. The dealer who sold it to me fitted Dunlop SP Sport 9000 which are fine but I don't want to encounter snow or ice with them.
