Rode OK, good steering response and were quiet. The big drawback was they were not happy at the limit of adhesion and could break loose more quickly than I liked, especially in rain. OTOH they were good in rain as long as I didn't push too hard--a definite speed issue after they were about half worn. What I didn't like was that they only lasted 25 K miles--and were not even down to the wear bars when I dumped them. By then I didn't trust them when the road was wet.
The Nokians are not only faster and more predictable, but are less expensive. I had no reason to think the Proxes 4s would be any better than the FZ4s and at $155 each didn't see a reason to try.
