Default Sunny Tires = Proxes? Help me pick the best tire damn it!

Local tire place advertising Sunny tires as the same tread pattern as Toyos. Look like knockoffs to me, anyone know anything about them?

The double AA traction rating means that they must be pretty sticky for s street tire.

That tread pattern is a little different, Looks like a set of Cooper Zeon I had on my Camaro for a while.
