TOYO Tyres got me stumped !!! Pls vote and help...thankyou

Ok guys
Ive had my L322 VSE for 2.5 years now and am loving it....my big disappointment is the tyres.

After reading just about every post on here re tyres, I took the general consensus on board and I got rid of the silly drug-dealer wheels on it from when I bought it, and went back to factory standard. The only change I made was to have the wheels powder-coated in a chrome-like finish.

When it came to tyres, again read everyone's opinion and plumped for Toyo Proxes.

Front ones lasted a year, did 12500 miles. Replaced with Toyo's again. Back ones lasted 18 months, did 16000 miles. Front ones now need replacing again, after lasting 14months, done 12000 miles.

I do pull a lightly loaded trailer maybe twice a month, but surely I should get better than this? I used to get 40000 miles out of Pirellis on my Golf GTI which was pushed hard every day, not like the tootling Im doing here in France.

Anyway, can I please have 10 votes for your tyre preference, and next Ill try whichever one comes out on top.
Many thanks

depends on your budget and requirements

if you are mainly on road and not doing anything other than gravel tracks then my choice would be the Pirelli Scorp zeros, or Michelin Lattitude Diamaris if they are still available.

The scorpions wear well but the Miches are better, I had them on my old car for 20000 miles and they were only half worn when it was sold.

the scorps wear a bit faster, but are still pretty robust. There is nothing that can't be fixed with a hammer😜😜

I had Toyo Proxes on my FFRR

Wore really quickly on the outside edges, less than 20k miles needed replaced

I went back to Pirelli, better all round IMHM 2007 Zermatt Silver TDV8 Vogue SE - now sold but was a great car!

I have Pirelli Scorpions and have no problems with them. I've not tried anything else on this FF and will renew the same i think when the time comes. __
