LOL +1 - but I like tires that slide just before the car rolls.

and I like tires that cost less dollars than the treadwear rating

How much do the proxes and T1s weigh??

edit: google answered, nvm

I'm using them, but in 18" size...over 20,000km (roughly 12,500mi) and the fronts are getting a little bald, time for a front to back swap soon

Overall they've been really good. Mind you, I don't really have experience with other performance tires, but they have served my needs well, most importantly they handle tropical rainstorms well

But, I understand they're more of a "show" tire than a true performance one...
