Default toyo proxes s/t

Toyo Proxes S/T 275/60VR16
Shipped to me comes up to $524. Is this a pretty good price?
The Liberator All-Terrains i have been gettin cost bout $290 for 4.
So we are talking bout $230 more for these Toyo's.
Just want some opinions before i dish out the Money i dont have yet!
Thanks guy!!
Oh yea i dont have too many more miles on the back to Liberators, burnouts are fun and expensive, just incase you didnt know?

I want a set of Toyos. But im torn between them and the Hankook Ventus RH06. My friend loves those tires. I drove his truck and they handle weather well. Dry and wet traction was a hell of alot better than my Skidyears.

My dad is on his second set of hankooks and he seems to really like them. There also a very good tire.

I have four Toyo Proxes S/T on my truck now. I had two of them blow out on different road trips both at 80mph for no apparent reason. I dont think I will buy them in the future for that reason.
