Wifey and I had to make an emergency trip to Myrtle Beach, SC from Oklahoma City. 3,000 miles driven in one week! I only had time to do an oil-filter change, fluid and belts check before leaving (had a new battery installed for X-mas). 9 months old Toyo Proxes4 195/50 R16s...76K miles on the odometer when we left...79K miles upon return.

Absolutely not a single problem...not a single hesitation or glitch...temp gauge never got above the "8 o'clock" position where it always stays when operating temp. is reached.

Lots of fun driving through the Great Smoky Mountains...TWICE!

Good to know...

This summer I'll be driving with my wife and my friend from Winnipeg, Canada to Vancouver, Canada. Then from Vancouver, to San Fran, then to LA then to Yellowstone national park, then back to Winnipeg.... all in the span of 2 weeks... 10,000K's (approx 6213 Miles)

Wish me luck!

Hopefully by then I'll have new rims and tires and I work at garage... so no problems with the oilchange, fluid flush and fills..

Looking forward to the mountain passes!!!!! :) (thumb)
