I also have to give a thumbs up to the Proxes4. We've put them on several customer vehicles and had excellent results with them.

I have to take issue with the gentleman's opinion of the ContiExtremeContact however, my experience with that tire has been quite the opposite. It's also quite interesting considering the thousands of people who have reviewed that tire on the Tire Rack site and given it very favorable marks.

I'm currently running Pirelli Pzero Nero M+S on my own vehicle with excellent results, pity they don't make it smaller than 17".
