I don't think anything beats them in the high performance all-season category.

Proxes 4

I initially thought they were POS's (like the Proxes FZ4's) but they aren't that bad actually.

i have them..i love them. theyve lasted me a year and a half...i have no idea how many miles that is though.

The other day, when i was coming home from the airport, i almost missed my exit..it was raining, i was doing 60ish and the off ramp speed was 20 because of that beautiful 90 degree turn...i started sliding sideways and almost slid into the guardrail....now, im not sure if that's because of my tires, or the fact that it was raining and i went into a 20mph turn at 60 h: Brett said my tires are fine though :eh:
