Either tire will be quite good I think...
I just think the Toyo Proxes 4 is gonna be better in some ways, given the quality and compounds being similar to the T1-S. Chris tells me I should see 35-40K miles with them. I think they'll give me everything I need for the mostly summer conditions here and be great in rain. That's all I need. After the good experience with the Nitto NT555, and being that Toyo owns Nitto (tires manufactured in same plant), I feel very confident with them. Toyo's the higher-end of those two.
I also think the Proxes 4 might be a better choice over the ST-115 since it is the latest (ST-115 has been out for a while now) and you know how fast tire designs/compounds change.
After some more research, I was going to just get the NT555's again, because they are just as good as the ST-115's (and in some ways better), albeit a little noisier perhaps. But it seems they last longer and have better grip in both dry/wet. Not huge differences, but enough to make me question spending more on the ST-115. I'd get them only to test myself. But for now, it's Toyo Proxes 4 baby.
Wheel is in sig.

NT555 is not quieter then ST-115...
but as I mentioned it has better dry/wet traction and lasts longer with some who have compared. Go Toyo Proxes 4. I'm sure it will be a better tire all around then the NT555. Pricing is about the same between them, but Toyo has better designs/compounds. I've had NT450's before (which were ok), and now these NT555's for 20K miles. It's not much of an "AS" tire. The Proxes 4 will be. Should have mine soon.
