Default What tire to choose between michellin and toyo??

Sup guys. I found a deal for a set of 4 tires 255-35-20 and 295-30-20 for some CV2's that i juat bought for 50% off discount.

They offer me at costco the michellin pilot super sport for 1,412 (mounted) which i wont do there because they probably messed the wheel.

Then i got the same offer for the new Toyo proxes PX4 plus, same deal mounted on the place i bought the rims.

I was thinking of going with the toyo, but the treadwear is 500+, that to my understanding it has less grip and last longer. And the michellin is 300 that for me thats is more usual between sport tires like v12's and proxes 4, nitto etc.

Any recomendations??

also dont forget about RE-11s as a slightly cheaper but slightly more grippy version of the PSS's.

Treadwear ratings are pretty much useless. There is not a consistent standard. The manufacturers all use different methods.
