The Proxes 4 are All Season tires. The T1R is a Summer tire. I have had both and the T1R is much better than the Proxes 4 on dry AND wet roads (I was in Houston when tropical storm Erin hit and the T1R's were amazing).
Well played
My bad. I thought my Proxes 4's were 280. Could have sworn that's what I saw on the tire. You're right though, they're all season, not summer tires.
They still stick VERY well, and feel great. I'd imagine that the T1R's are just more sticky, and have more contact patch for even more traction...
