How much is a decent set of Proxies?

Once I get my new rims in, I will be thinking of replacing the tires with a set of Toyo Proxies. Now my friends shop sells them I just want to know what is a good price for a decent pair. I do want them to last for awhile. I am not going all out performance. A friend of mine that works there has some proxies that last about 5k miles on his ITR. I can't afford to be replacing tires constantly.

Actually they're "proxes" and they run about 120 a piece for 16's.

My rims are 15's. So will that drop the price a little?

Yep, I don't care if you want performance or not, the proxes, are not a good tire, the only Toyo that is a good performer and over priced is the T1S. The lower lines such as the FZ4 even if bought at 50-70$ a piece, are still not a good choice. You can get the Yoko Avid line which takes more of a beating, or the potenza RE910s or even better the RE950s which incorporate the UNIATII technology, like the S0-3. but way cheaper.
One thing, although, the Toyo sucks for any wet conditions, I believe it would be a good drift tire. Easy to break loose. But I don't drift around town, nor can I afford totaling my car in the rain.
