Toyo Proxes

Anybody ever use Toyo Proxes 4 tires? I'm thinking of buying a set of these.

I have those FZ4 tires. I've had them for about 4 months now and have no complaints. Theyre just entry level performance tires so dont expect awesome levels of traction or grip. They do work well though and wet weather traction is pretty damn good. Around the corners they seem to hold well, you really have to push the car to get them to squeal. Acceleration wise, theyre just as easy to break loose as anything else I've driven. I havent had them long enough to comment on wear, but they seem to be holding up well.

I paid $110 a piece, getting them onsale at a local speed shop. I'd say they were definately a good deal and I'd buy them again.

I finally did get them, on Friday, and tested them out a little bit. They are great with traction on dry roads, hasn't rained much so I'm not sure about wet traction. Cornering is definately nice, but I've only tested 90 degree turns at about 30-35. The traction rating on the tires is AA and the treadwear is 300 I believe. Temp is A. For $105 a piece, this is really an excellent deal and I'd suggest these tires to anyone. So far, no complaints.
