Default Opinion on Toyo Proxes

Anyone has experience with 205/45/16 Toyo Proxes?? most likely I'll get em' next week for my DC2 with 16X7 Enkei NT03. They cost close to S. Drive and Neogen, but the tire shop recommends me Toyo Proxes comparing to grip, threadwear, and traction.

Proxes 4, or Proxes FZ4?

Warmed up? You mean, "not broken in".

Tires have a mold release compound coating them when new. You need to wear this off before the grip levels approach anything even close to normal.

Trying to push brand new tires was a rather idiotic maneuver, and you should be grateful no damage was done.
