But the Motivo's are not "dangerous" or "slippery" in the rain.. They are highly rated all season/wet traction tire.. The fact they have a 560 rating is icing on the cake knowing your not swapping these tires out every 15k miles...

Here's another article from an independant reviewer who ran Toyo Proxes than swapped them for the Motiovo's and wrote up a review - http://www.clublexus.com/forums/the-...vo-review.html |
Thats a great feedback from you which I thank you, here we do get 8-9 months of rain per year, anyhow I will read your links and will get back to you with my comments.
I did read the links you sent me, the Toyo Proxes they are talking about are not even close to the one's I want to buy, they are talking about a factory installed Toyo A20 on a Lexus, the Proxes I want to buy are the ST2 which have an agressive rain thread and the reviews all over are also great, usually I do a lot of research before buying tires, and never got a bad one from Toyo Proxes ST1 and ST2, so I think I'm going to choose those tires, check the picture below...
