Toyo Proxes 4 in 5th gen stock 17" size? Do my eyes deceive me?

1. Ride (Relatively softer sidewall than the V4S)
2. Tread pattern. The Proxes 4's just look mean.
3. Lighter by 2lbs./tire
However, the V4S does offer what appears to be 10-20k longer treadlife, superior snow traction, and better handling (from the stiffer sidewall). My #1 priorities are ride and straight line traction where the Proxes 4 excels. But both are great tires.

Moreover, the tread life on these tires have been superb for far. 5k miles and I have noticed almost no wear. This is in stark contrast to my previous 512's.
