Default Toyo v. Yokohama

Who has the better tires all around?

I was looking at toyo's S/T's for the neon that i don't even own...he he he( well i don't have my license for that matter but its another story )

Im pretty much new to all this kind of stuff so I don't know the specific word for the really small tires they come up maybe like 2" off the wheels.

To give my future neon a taste of style after i drop it 1.5"

and traction too i suppose some people think sacrificing utter awesomeness for a lil bit of traction is the way to go lol

and um is the tire size derived from what size wheels you have? is that what they base it on?

It takes your ride when you go down to 215.. I recommend atleast going 225.

I would agree that the Proxes 4's have very good traction over stock tires and the treadlife is decent (about the same as the stock tires) for a Ultra-High Performance All-Season tire but that means they'll only last to 30k if your very lucky. I have about 24,000 miles on mine and they wont live to see another tire rotation...
