ive had both the nitto 420 and toyo proxy...both tires have their advantages and disadvantages...

toyo's...275/60 17.
great dry traction, quiet, wore great and lasted...scarry as **** on wet roads. if someone spit on the ground the tire would spin.

nitto...285/50 18.
decent dry traction (less than toyo even though its wider), quiet, wear great, lasting...amazing wet traction. it suprises me! cant 60' as well as the toyo's. trying pirelli scorpion zero's my next round.

Here are my 275/60-16 Toyos. Sorry pictures are kinda dark. I like them but they are pretty useless in rain. The diameter is kinda short too. I wish they were another 1" or so taller to fill in the fender well gap.
