These tyres replaced the mixed bag of tyres that I had on my car. I had bought the car with new Triangle front tyres and rear michelins one of which even after 51000 miles was probably original :(. So any set of 4 tyres was likely to be an improvement!
I was initially dissapointed in these tyres as I felt that I wasn't gaining much in the way of grip, wet or dry. However this was just to do with the running in period. They do require a decent scrub! I then found that the car suffered from far less understeer in both the wet and dry and if pushed to the limit became extremely talkative however there was a dead point around the lower limits which initially was a little unnerving but this was soon tackled by a bit of bravery! On a B road blast I found that even though the car is FWD it was pivoting around the middle and felt so alive and willing to be pushed. I can guarantee that this is down to the tyres rather than the car as I had been on the same road a week before fitting these tyres pushing just as hard without the same results.
I'm rating these at about 70% because I feel they could have more in the way of progressiveness, wet grip and communication. However for £170 fitted I couldn't really ever see past them.
P.S They so far have been excellent in the snow!

Before I bought these I considered several brands and had no idea which might work best for my needs or driving style. I wanted the best tire for a very reasonable price. I used reviews such as these to make my final decision.
My car came with the Goodyear F1's which run about $320 each. IMO the Toyo Proxe 4's are hands down better then the Goodyear's. This is from dry grip, to comfort, to road noise. I have 36k miles on these tires and am about to purchase another set. The rears look good while the fronts are definitely worn. I will mention I could not rotate the tires because they are directional and I ran a staggered set up.

Have had these for a couple of months and are very happy with the grip in wet and dry as well as the sound and comfort. Had Falken fk-452 before and I think these are not as noisey.

got these a few months ago and by far the best tyre i have owned, they stick to the road like something to a blanket, i bought them as toyos are very highly recommended on the fiat forum for puntos and it was either these or t1r's. i when for these as they are more hardy for use in the winter and they are not as known for wearing out fast like the t1r's.
overall a very good tyre in all seasons would defo recommend

tires were ok at first but the cupping got so bad i had to buy new tires with still a little usable tread left. was gonna get new tires in 3 months anyhow but had to do it early, was going deaf from having the radio up so loud trying to drown out the truck tires these turned into. when i bought my new nexens i had an alignment done and it wasnt too far off so it wasnt that causing the cupping.proxes is a very good lookin tire but, ask yourself if looks are more important than performance. i dont recomend these, sorry toyo.

I ran these tires for 2 years and from day 1 these tires would vibrate up to and especially bad at around 65mph. After that they felt smooth, but I can't drive 80 mph + everywhere. I took the car in last fall to have the tires rebalanced and they said don't bother, the tires are junk. Two tires had belts that were separating. I pulled them off the rims and now I'm leaning toward the Michelins or the VREDESTEIN ULTRAC SESSANTA.
