    My 2013 Persona came with oem 17" Toyo Proxes tires. They have 20k miles and look in great shape and I am wondering if others have had good/bad experience with these tires. Have they worn well? Handled well?

    I agree... they are very noisy. On the freeway, sometimes I can barely hear the bluetooth phone conversation!

    They cost $1000 for a set of 4, you can get much better Michelin tires for less.

    I plan to keep them until they need replacing, but I would never buy them.

    I got 46,500 miles until I replaced them with 215x45x17 Michelin Premier A/S.

    Highly recommended.
