Default Which TOYO tires?

I am getting some 20" wheels and tires in 245/35-20. I have the option to get the Toyo Proxe-4's and for $90 I can get the Toyo T1-S tires? Any reccommendations on which of these tires to get...

I want the most comfort achievable from such a small sidewall. Performance is not that important as comfort to me.

I have both on different cars. T1-S on the SC300 have a stiffer sidewall and have less roll over in the turns. Still I find them to be very quiet and absorb bumps without jarring. - Note these are 16"

Have the Proxe 4's on my Camry. Quietest tire I have ever owned. Has more sidewall flex in turns and feels less firmly planted to me. Great tire for the money.Note these are 16's as well.

Hard to go wrong either way. $90 for 20" T1-S sound like a great buy.

T1-S are a summer tire, the Proxes 4 is Ultra High performance 'all seasons'.

GS300Rich,

What kind of mileage were you able to get out of yours? On stock set up?
