I've had those before on my now wife's car, they were great at first but got hard quickly and I was constantly getting flat tires repaired. I said the nails I hit would put a flat in any tire, but for some reason I had way more than normal with those tires. Once I switched over to Goodyear Eagle GS-D3 I think the flats stopped. I must have traded out 3 tires and 5 repairs on those Proxes.

Might have just been some bad tires, and not to rain on your parade but passing along my experience.
