Toyo Proxes 4 Plus - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Icemanmanf · 03-07-2016, 05:54 AM

I'm considering the Toyo Proxes 4 Plus for my ZL1. My requirements are:

- UHP all-season tire for cold weather (summer tires can only be driven for three or four months in Alberta)
- good wet weather handling
- good cornering (I don't stress the limits)
- size that will fit the stock ZL1 wheels

I've done some research on here and the web in general, and I'm getting the sense that the Toyo Proxes 4 Plus's are so-so in wet weather.
They don't come in stock sizes, but they have 315/35R20 for the rear, and 275/35R20.

Does anyone have any experience with these tires? If so, please partake, especially any tales of cold and/or wet weather driving.

Thanks... Manf

I have them in 275/315 but I can't relate to using them up North at all. I got them as an all season to keep my Z service-able during very mild winters in Atlanta, GA where winter tires would be a full waste and we have a full 8 months on summer tires.

They're far better in cold (under 45 degree) dry weather than the stock Good Years. I've driven them confidently in freezing temps without precipitation.

Damp traction is fine to good, but again winters here are mild and not very wet.

Soaked traction is poor, but not necessarily worse than the stock Good Years.
