Question Toyo Proxes 4 - 225/45/18 AA, A, 300

Has anybody taken a set of Toyo Proxes 4 to a road course?

I have had the old RE040's real good and heated up before and don't know what to expect.

I seem to have a little harmonic vib around 15-20 mph at 2000rpm. Not sure if that will go away. These have a little more grip, give a little more initially with bumps and are quieter.

Anyone own a pair of these? Thanks

they'll heat up and get greasy really quick, not good for track use at all.

they are 'all season' tires for a reason

i believe they'll be noticeably worse than the RE040's

for track use that is, for street use I'd say it's a better overall tire than the Bridgestones

I have them and after a period of hard driving them don't seem that bad, though I'd say they do grip a little less than the potenza's. They do, however, last twice as long and actually allow you to move in the snow, so if you're 8 is an everyday driver, they're a good tire.
