Toyo's

I've got that exact set up on mine. The ride and noise levels are very good. Great traction too. Not sure about the wear, as I only have 2300 miles so far. I have had Toyo's on a couple of other vehicles and have always been impressed. Can't go wrong in my opinion..... for whatever that's worth

I've got Proxes 4 235/45/17-W on my TL 6MT. I swapped the OEMs at about 1000 miles and have about 6500 miles on the car now. These tires are amazing....dry and wet. Grip is amazing. I highly recommend them.

Buddy if you have the extra cash and dont need an all year tire go.

Proxies TS-1 Ultra High Performance, Summer Tires

Treadwear and Noise are Good. They grip like nascar and they are very very reliable in the rain.

Good Luck

I've never used Toyo's, but I am very happy with the 245/40/18 tire size.
