I know they're dogged on alot, but I run the new Toyo Proxes 4. They're softer that the ts-1, so they are a little better in my opinion.

They're quiet, handle nice, and i can feel the road again, i dont feel like im floating around.

They also manage a 2.2 60 foot at PIR with the little turbo single cam

Overall I like them alot, you can't even really tell its wet out when it rains either.

I've heard the same thing.

I had a set of Toyo Proxes and they weren't too bad. They followed the road like a mother ******, but just about every low profile tire I've driven on did the same thing.

i like falkens. I've used the azenis, 512's and 502's. I like em all. I had a set of kumho's, not the 712's, but I hated them and wouldn't get another set of any kumhos, so from your two choices, get the es100's
