I've got the Toyos as well...I'm now on my second set. I was looking for the EXACT same specs and have been very happy with the Proxies.

Toyo Proxes S/Ts are the first "street tire" i have ever gotten. So all i can compare them to are All Terrains, But i Love the Toyos! Awesome Dry traction, and very inpressive on wet asphalt, but i only have about 1500 miles on them and no wear yet.. so i hope i can keep it that away.

The only thing about the Toyo Proxes S/T's that I don't like is the 420 treadwear rating....every set of 420 rated tires I've had has had sucky dry traction. I realize that the Treadwear rating is arbitrary and two different tires with the same treadwear ratings can be totally different tires but it still worries me

the nitto 404 and toyo proxies seem to have about the same grip in terms of 60' track times.
Go with whichever tread pattern you like best
