but the 255 to make up for the harder compound still makes sense.

well....my finances suck right now so it looks like I have to get one set of tires for the time being.
FK452. $475
Toyo Proxes 4. $500 (found a place where they're about $440 shipped)
Kuhmo ASX. $430
Pzero Nero. $654
all with road hazard and shipped. I'm leaning toward the Proxes 4 because they are MS rated and $150 cheaper than the pzero's...and I'm thinking they handle better than the ASX consdiering how well my 451's did.
I think it will be a good middle of the road tire. If and when I get more money change up and probably go 615's on the daily and LM25's or REV1's for snow.

I know in general, you want to run a narrow tire in snow/rain to minimize the contact patch for snow/rain to get trapped, but it would be great to compensate for some of the grip ill be losing compound wise (stock evo advans are as close to R-compounds as you'll get), by going a tad wider
