    I have the Toyo Proxes-4 now, and I don't like them that much. I prefer the Dunlop Sp 9000 I had before (came with the car).

    I'm gonna try out the T1Rs next, I heard good reviews from my friends so I'm expecting them to be better than the Dunlops.

    I don't know how good the SP5000s, but the SP9000 > Proxes-4 IMO.

    i haven't used the dunlops but i had the proxes 4 and i am definitely NOT a fan! i did have the 9000's for a bit but not long enough to have a good opinion about them

    I have Toyo Proxes 4s on my car now, second set in fact. Mine are a 195/50/15, V-rated.

    Personally, I really liked them. I got about 35,000 miles of mixed city, highway, autocross, and track driving out of them. They have decent grip, and very progressive breakaway. I should also note that my car is on stock suspension, too.

    The only minor complaint that I have about them is that they can be noisy on the highway.

    I have no experience with the Dunlop, however.
