proxy 4's, who got them & How do you like?

I am getting ready to order a set for my 300 srt. I would just like to get a up-date on how they handle in rain & snow, from anyone who has been driving on them for a while.I am going with the 275/40/20 all around instead of F-1 245-front 255 rear combo.I appreciate any input.
Beck

i got em and i love em. i have 255/45/20 in the front and 275/40/20 in the rear. its snowing here in cleveland right now and they work very well, as well as a rear wheel drive car with a lot of torque can handle in the snow. driving in the rain is great too, i have yet to spin out or anything and i drive pretty fast. feels a lot better than the F1's

I burned up the rsa's a week after getting the diablo tuner. Got the proxes 4 275/40/20 for the rears and love it. If I could only do the tires or the tuner it would be a hard choice...

When I would run over squirrels with the F1's it really bounced alot, however once the Toyo's were on, they would squish right between the large grooves and I didn't even leave my line...highly recommended!

On a serious note, great tires, they run much better than the F1's did in snow. On the F1's in the snow (while I didn't take it out too much) I had to route my trip around downhill streets, not the issue here.

I have them and am pleased. They are a good buy and perform good enough in the snow. Can't compare them with the RSA's because I originally had F1's.
