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.
