Worth knowing
- Owners of heavy SUVs like the BMW X5 and Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT frequently report significant improvements in ride quality and noise reduction when replacing factory run-flat tires with the Proxes ST.
- Users with high-torque trucks and performance SUVs noted that the tire provides superior grip during hard launches and cornering compared to all-terrain alternatives.
- Drivers using low-profile sizes (e.g., 24-inch wheels) noted a firmer, sometimes rougher ride, which is attributed to the tire's sport-oriented construction.
