Well, I got a pretty good feel for the Es100's dry traction at the track, but I am a noob, so take it with a grain of salt. But I felt like I was fighting for traction. They just don't seem sticky at all. They were somewhat better when they warmed up, but still not great.
As for the Proxes 4's, this is how Toyo describes them:

They're obviously not snow tires, but they've worked just fine climing steep inclines with snow/ice on the ground several times this winter. Honestly I can't imagine a more versatile tire. And in addition to being quiet and handeling great in all situations, they have a 300 tread wear rating. People are saying they last for days. I know I'm labeled the local nutswinger and all, but I really don't think I need a seperate winter and summer setup anymore.
