I had FZ4s on two previous cars and I have absolutely no complaints about them. They were great for the money and had great dry and wet traction. However, I have no idea what they were like in snow as I had alternative wheels/tires for winter time.
I have the Toyo Proxes 4's all around and they are a great tire. I only paid $111 a piece, and they have a treadwear rating of 300. They hook alot better than I expected and I can't catch any rubber on the 2nd-3rd shift like I could with the Goodyears. They do make a 275/40/ZR17 drag radial style tire, it is called the RA-1 Competition Radial.
Ok... Cuz I was asking my friend if he could get Nitto's at a discount... and he said he can get Toyo's at a great price. Had no idea if they were any good Or if anyone even used them?
