Hi Tim For what it may be worth, I'm impressed with the wet grip of the the Avon ZV5 205/65R15 that are standard fit on my +4. Avon's website lists the same tyre in a 205/60R15, with a static loaded radius of 286 mm. Don't know how the radius/ sleeping policeman avoidance capability compares with your Proxes.
