Proxes 4 are meant to be quite poor, plus they are all-season rather than high performance.

I'm getting SPT's for my next set of tyres, they seem to get excellent reviews. So far have only called Kogarah Tyrepower, $152 each fitted and balanced for 205/55/15's (no idea if that is a good price)

I paid $155 for a 205/55 R16's for the Kumho's in August last year, just to give you a comparsion.

The ku31 in 195/50/15 was $120 in a tyre shop in belmore on burwood road.
I forgot the name of the shop but they have a big kumho billboard on their shop.

I was going to buy the tyre but found out they are only average.

I'm running proxes 4's on the front. Love them, very happy with the performance, especially for the cost ($150 each fitted and balanced for 205/45/16)

Plenty of grip, still good in the wet. Yes they're "all-season"....but i don't understand why you'd see that as a disadvantage in a daily driver. I'm not to keen on having to change tyres over autumn/winter.

Edit: Thanks for the tip, Poid. Wish the salesguy had pointed that out when i said the same thing to him.
