Default Are Toyo Proxes 4 tires any good?

Anyone heard of Toyo tires, specifically the Proxes 4 series? Are these a decent tire for use as a daily driver that will also have a supercharger? I know people mention Nitto 555's and BFG KDW-2's... but i'm able to get a better deal on these.

They are great. Great traction, great in rain. Mud and snow rated and best of all, 295 in 20".

I'd love to try them myself, but I don't think they make them in a 235/55R-17 for my wheel size.

Seems I'm bound to be stuck with the Pirellis.

I had a set on my 01. When my stock Pirrellis are shot, Toyos go on. I found they reduced the harshness of the 01 ride , good in rain. I recommend them
