Advice / views on TOYO Proxies STII tyres

That time of year again when I look into the ever increasing cost of tyres. I need to replace either 2x Michelin Diamaris at approx 270 per corner or go for 4x Toyo Proxies at approx 140 per corner.

I have zero experience of TOYO so am looking for views on the tyres and especially the noise as I have seen a couple of reviews where noise was an issue.

(these will be 255/50 R20 size) "On first name terms with my local Dealer......now."

I used to only use Toyos on 4 integrales I had which hugely benefitted from the grip and wet performance. In fact you didnt really notice the weather with them!
No idea about a bigger vehicle though.

I've fitted them on my Supercharged - very good, and at about £140 per tyre they were a lot cheaper than the Sport Contacts they replaced (with badly worn shoulders !) Stolen / Gone: 2006MY Supercharged LPG Autobiography - Zambezi Silver with Sand/Jet/Jet Oxford Leather.....

Mind me asking where you're buying from to get that price please? Best I can find is about 170 a corner, fitted.

Thanks. Dom.

Whats the current thoughts on a good but reasonably economical all season or m and s type tyre which is ok on road but also ok for greasy fields, bit of mud and snow later on?
All the defenders seem to be using grabbers but then read great things about the toyo open countrys and then also khumo etc
Not bought tyres for ages so a bit out of touch
