We had a few days of snow here in the Denver area and I just wanted to say that the Toyo Proxes FZ4 performed very well being a High Performance All-Season type tire. I use a 205x50x16 size.
Although not as confident as a full on snow tire they still did very well. They also still corner very well even when it is 12 degrees outside.
I don't think they would do to well in the deep stuff say over 5" - 6" or on black ice. But in the slushy, hard packed not to icy stuff they were great. I could induce a rear-end kick out and pull out of it easily with just a little throttle. Not once did I ever feel I was out of control. They seem to have decent bite to them. I'm impressed. You do have to give yourself a little more stopping distance but not like you would with a dedicated summer tire.
I've had a lot of fun with these tires for the past few days. I'm going to keep using them for the rest of the winter or until mother nature deems it necessary that I put on my Arctic Alpins post haste.
