good tires?

You guys should check out the new Toyo Proxes 4. May not be a great snow-handling tire but it's acceptable for an all-season tire. From what I've heard from the Scooby and Evo crowd, they are awesome dry and wet handling tires. Perfect as an all-year, all-season, light snow, and even occasional track tire. Performance is almost as good as dedicated summer tires which is remarkable. Seems to be equivalent or maybe even better in performance to the Bridgestone Potenza RE950 with similar average snow traction except much cheaper. I might try out a set in the spring.
Not available in our 215/50/17 size but you can get it in either 225/45/17 or 235/45/17 for the stock rims without too much speedo discrepancy. I think less than 1 mph deviation so no biggie.
Frisbyracetire.com has them for decent prices. If anyone finds better, please share.

The T1-S are better but they cost a lot more...
By the way, Toyo is coming up with a replacement to the FZ-4... It should be out or should be out by summer.

I had a set of Nitto NT450's on my Accord in 17" and loved them. They wore very well and I had no complaints. They are $112 each with free shipping from http://www.discounttiredirect.com/direct/home.jsp
We do not get much weather in Dallas so I could run them 12 months. I cannot wait for the stock rubber to wear out!

Of course T1-S is better. It is a dedicated summer tire. But you can't use it all year, so for most of us, Proxes 4 is a great compromise with barely much of a performance hit. It has near-summer tire performance with all-season tire versatility.
