I've used the nitto nt450 since the day I bought my rims. I can't vouch for that series, but I've been very happy with the treadwear of the 450s. Nitto seems to make a great tire, but I've heard great things from the proxy sts.

I have the Nitto 404 right now and have put about 16K on them. They are about gone, but i ran the **** out of them. I will be looking at the Toyo's when it is time to get new ones. I would buy the Nittos again, but I would like to switch things up a bit. The Nittos have great gripp and the wear is very even too.

I would go with the Nittos. I had the Toyo Proxes in 295/45-20 and 265/50-20 and didnt like either of the 2. Traction sucked with the 265/50s and the 295/45 was wearing bad and the local tire shop said it was a faulty tire.

I've had two sets of Toyos. First were 20's on my old wheels and now the 255/55's on my 18's. I've had no problems with either set of tires and felt that they had great cornering traction.
