Yeah I know that we have low profile tires and that all-season is kind of a joke for our size tires.. but i have to ask..

Toyo Proxes 4 or yokohama h4s.. which would be better in cold weather maybe some snow? (without going to a snow tire) I had the pzero's and looking to try something else this time around..

let me know your experiences.. thanks

sorry.. yeah i meant the yokohama AVID H4S.. thanks for the info, the kind i was looking for..

sounds like this is a decent,nice tire.. maybe not ultra high performance, but does a good job.. i like the idea of a decent snow tire and one that handles well in the rain.. I wasn't sure if the toyo proxes 4 could handle snow or the extreme cold of michigan winters.. thanks for the input!

bump.. anyone else have any other opinions on these two tires?

Haven't experienced snow yet; no trouble at all balancing them.

Some people have experienced a small issue where the tires develop a small flat spot if the car is left to sit several days in cold weather, but after driving 5 miles or so it goes away. I only experienced this with my 225/40-18 size of this tire (ony 18x8.5 wheels); on my 215/45-17 size they don't do it at all (same size as stock). I had to go back from the 18s to stock size because of rubbing issues (partially also due to my brake kit, which pushed the wheels out farther than stock).

thanks eddnog.. yeah the flat spotting happens on my pirelli pzero's as well, takes about 3 miles for it to go away, kind of used to it by now.. i just know not to balance tires cold!
