Falken Ziex 512 VS Toyo Proxes4 verdict

Hey guys, this was a casual comparison and not compared in all conditions, but I think there is some worth while info to be passed along. Blackcat has the Falkens in 17" and I have the Proxes4 in 18", we both drove each others cars ( man o man I really want a supercharger now! ). Anyway back to the tires, we both concluded the Toyo's are considerably quieter, the wet traction is similar, we couldn't test in the dry, and Blackcat wasn't impressed with how quickly his falkens are wearing. The Toyos seemed to have a softer ride but we both have different suspension setups so it's hard to blame the tires, but defintely more road noise with the Falkens, hope this helps someone.

So you compared tires in different sizes on cars with different suspension setups...

...why?

Geez relax you hair splitters! How many people on here compare things when they've never actually tried the other product! At least we are offering some comparible input that may help some people, some never get that close for comparison and you guys are flaming this! Get a life........

MAXRB8, then for the information. I will definitely give Proxes4 a try, if that's not expensive. How much did they cost you for 4? I really wish Costco can expand their line of tires available.
