Default need opinions on Toyos

I am contemplating putting a set of Enkei chrome 5 spokes (18") on my ES.
The shop has suggested ToyoŽ Proxes FZ4 as the tread to go with.

Has anyone experience of knowledge of these tires or Toyo in general? I have never ridden on Toyo and would appreciate some input before I plop down the money.

Thanks in advance.

I think Toyo tires are excellent. I've had two sets of the T1-S tire, which is more performance oriented than the Proxes. The T1-S has EXCELLENT dry and wet traction, and is quiet and smooth. Only downside is it doesn't last a long time, but the Proxes should last longer.

i had FZ4s on my Accord, and the sidewall design is very slim(regardless of what size you get), so watch out for potholes in Dirty Jerz. Other than that, good handling, and quiet cruising
