[s-cars] Toyo Tire Question

[Taka Mizutani]

Toyo Proxes 4 I've tried on my Mom's VW New Beetle, in 205/55R16.

I actually liked them quite a bit- while they don't grip like a max
performance summer tire, they grip fairly well (no complaints with the
braking distance but they do give up the ghost earlier in hard cornering
than something like a Falken RT-615). They're also very quiet.

I can't comment on the snow performance, I have not had good experiences
with all-season tires in the snow with the exception of the "all-season"
Nokian NRW and WR, which are great in the snow but too squishy in the dry
for any fun.
