Try the Falken Ziex 512's. They are a great all season tire.

 

I replaced my Falken 512's with Proxes 4. The 512 handle much better in the snow, I found myself slipping more on the 4’s in the snow. I had so much more confidence in the snow with the 512’s, I was really surprised @ how poor the traction was in the 4’s. The 4’s are a better handling tire and more responsive on the dry pavement plus I only got 17,000 miles out of the 512’s.

 

I'd either get the Zero Nero's or the Ectsa ASX's...The Zero's handle a bit better but arent quite as good in the snow. Forget the rest of the tires. Toyo Proxes 4 are absolute garbage and the Continentals handle like non performance tires but do very well in the snow.

 

Hands down Falken Ziex ZE-512's...

 

I'm looking at getting some new tires for my Evo and am one the fence between the ASX and the Proxes 4. Most of the driver reviews that I've seen on the Proxes 4 rate it very highly. How did you determine that the Proxes 4 are garbage? I had them on my previous car, and they were miles better than the previous tires on that car (Dunlop Sport SP5000s and Sumitomo HTR+). If there is some reason that the ASX is better, I'd like to hear it.

 

falkens for the win

 

ditto!

 

Im about to get a set of tires for the evo. Im on the fence and like to see your inputs on either toyos proxes 4 or sumitomo htr III? I called and the lowest prices for sumi's are $550 and toyos are $700 I want the toyos because I have had them before and seem great. I never had sumi's but might go with the sumis of the price.

 

Toyos....... ran them for years on a few different street cars and race cars, it is not just in the grip, but the longevity of wear...

i've driven asx's through a foot of snow without issue and gotten 35K miles out of a set

 

I had Toyo Proxes 4 and they were great in the rain and lasted me a while. Downside is that they handle ****ty and get greasy really fast when you push it and it's dry out.

 

Kumho ASX as well!

 

Toyos imo. Not a fan of the Ecstas. I can't speak to the Falkens, though.

 

Another interesting tire that came out a year or so ago is the new Goodyear Eagle GT. Its about a pound heavier than the Proxes 4, but has more tread and is supposed to be a very good all around tire.
