Opinions on TOYO Proxes 4 tires?

Does anyone have any opinions on the Toyo Proxes 4 tires? (noise,handling,rain/snow etc)They seem to be rated very high and are reasonably priced (I am comparing these against the Falken 512's).

I called a shop inquiring about the Falkens and they mentioned that the Falkens have a tread life of close to 15,000 miles only. Is that true?

Well any feedback on the Toyo's or comparisons against the Falkens would help! Thanks!!

Where can you get them? I'm looking online but don't see them on tirerack or tires.com

Also any word on snow driving? I have to say that I'm very worried with the stock tires on snow.

These tires are inexpensive. Do they have a lot of road noise. Do they have good traction on dry and wet surfaces?

Not much road noise, I love my proxes 4 and prob will not go back to other tires besides toyo t1's and they are very aggressively priced. They are snow rated and there great in the rain....the proxes 4 just came out htis week so no one really knows how good htere are in the snow yet.

some have said that Falken wear ratings are a tad high for the tire. their ST115 and "beta" summer tires are softer than expected from wear rating. but for approx $100 per ST115 i don't mind buying new at 25k or 30k miles, it's a great tire.

others say Proxes-4 are noisy

did you try www.hptire.net ?
