I dont have any first hand experience with Kumhos, but I am a big Toyo fan. I recently replaced the tires on 2 of my cars with Proxy 4s (used to have Toyo T1-S on both of them) and I like them so far. Doesn't rain too much out here in SoCal and winter is non-existant so can't tell you what they are like under those conditions, but they definately ride smoother and quieter than the T1Ss. I also have Toyo T1Rs on my other 2 cars (switched from Michelin PS2s and Dunlop SP9000s) and while the T1Rs are a better performing tire than the Proxy 4s, the Proxy 4s again are smoother and quieter. If you are looking for comfort, I would definately recommend the Proxy 4s.
