I am very happy with them.
Hard to break them lose, fantastic in the rain, very strong cornering. Many times better than MXV4. In fact, I don't think I would need to upgrade to 17" wheels anymore.
For $150 or so in 235/50/16, hard to beat. There are some good european reviews on these tires on the web (some English, others German).

Hi All:

I have my Toyo Proxes T1S's and they are great. They seem a bit better than my old Bridgestones Potenza S-02 Pole Position (heavy treadwear).

The T1S's have a lot better wet traction (standing water not a problem) and it seems a bit louder as far as road noise goes and cornering is excellent. We shall see on how treadwear goes.

I will update everyone as the miles pile up.

Aloha,
Eric

Just replaced the Michelin MXX3's with the Proxes T1-S's on my porsche and all i can say is the grip is great! Have'nt tried it in the rain but i have the utmost confidence b/c of those large groves. The only downside is that i have lost that go-kart feeling to car.

I highly recommend them.
