Toyo proxies fz4 or Yokohama AVS dB S2
I trying to decide between Toyo proxies fz4 or Yokohama AVS dB S2 . I currently have the Toyos but need new tires. I was all set to get the yokoama's but then the guy in the sotre told me they don't corner well and the toyo' s are much better all around tire ,for performance and sound (less noise then the db2's
Figured I'd post here and get the truth between the 2 tires whats the pros and cons of each
Thanks in advance

How do you like the noise of the FZ4? I've ride them for a few days but I found them pretty noisy. Have you considered Bridgestone RE950? I currently have them on 2 cars and I like them very much. Dont know much about Yoko. Luke, your turn....

Nope, all all-season tires are supposed to be noisier because of the harder compound. The T1-S is relatively quiet until it wears out, as soon as you hear some noise, you'll know its time to change tires. I guess RE950 can be considered as the quiet ones among A/S tires.

For the T1-S, you will start to hear some noise after 20K miles. All-season tires are extremely quiet???? All-season tires have more aggressive & deeper treads, the rubber compound is generally harder, the ride is rougher, how can it be quiet??? Luke, Luke, where are you????
