Default Bridgestone RE960as pole position? or Toyo Proxes 4?

Im lookin around for new tires, and ive decided inbetween these two, but i cant make my final decision... i need all season tires, as i cant afford two sets... Both have excellent reviews, and i need a tire that will stand up to very aggressive driving, have unbelievable grip, but can still have grip in snow as i am going to western michigan university next year. Someone please recommend me to one of these tires, as i have no clue what to choose. im leaning more towards bridgestone at the moment, as i am a fan

Quite a coincidence. My first set on my 18's were the Bridgestones, and I just got the Toyo Proxes 4 about a month ago. The Toyo tires in my opinion are much better. I'd recommend that for your next set.

I'd say go for the Toyo Proxes4.

At the rate they are wearing I'd say about 25k-30k for this set of Proxes4. Not bad at all.

^With a treadwear rating of 300, I'd say thats a reasonable assumption

^^^ very true I was actually taking a tread depth gauge, measuring the wear. Then based on a couple thousand miles of wear, projecting how long they're going to last.
