I know this is old topic but i thought i'd put in my thoughts on this product. I have been running Toyo Proxes ST on my previous X5 and again on my current one and I have to say that they really are loud on the road. But since i've had these tires for almost 2 years now and the rears are on its last layer before it blows up on me while i'm driving it so i thought I better get new tires. Unfortunately for me, Toyos stopped production on ST model and came out with ST IIs which have a different thread design. Of course, Vredestein were highly mentioned in this forum so I thought I'd give them a try. These were available local to me so I went for them and the price would be pretty much the same as Toyos.

My final review is of amazement that huge 20 inch 315/35s could be so quiet. I am amazed of how I can think while driving the X now without that loud tire noise even with the windows closed. Although I've only driven for a week and its too early to tell but I am a happy camper. It has been mentioned though that these tires are way softer than others. Plus I do miss the Toyo Proxes look of having that squared edge at the edge of the outer tires. It has a nice aggressive look to it. The Vredesteins are a little rounder on the edge.

Besides the edge, I hope these last as long as the Toyos then i'll reallybe happy. All in all, im a satisfied customer.
