Alrighty, I've had these (Toyo Proxes FZ4's) on for the last 3 weeks and am simply amazed by this all season tire! The only tire I have to compare it to is the Nitto 450 and the FZ4's are leaps and bounds ahead of that tire.
The FZ4's are quiet, track well, really stick well in the curves for an all season and don't feel like you are riding on steel rims.
I don't autocross and don't drive at the extreme limits all the time so I can't tell you about wear and tear. But for the one big curve that I take every night I am able to take it much faster than I could with the Nitto's. I am truly impressed by these tires.
I needed a tire that would do well in the summer, give some comfort and not be so damned scary in a late or early season surprise snow storm. Of course I run dedicated snow tires (Michelin Arctic Alpins) but I've been caught off guard twice and driving 50 miles in deep snow on summer tires is not fun.
I'd say this is a tire for that kind of driver that wants performance, doesn't worry about ride comfort all that much, and needs an all season.
I give them two thumbs up.
