Toyo is a reputable brand and the Proxes S/T are pretty solid performers. Not sure why you would classify them as a "cheap" product.

Mainly because the money I am spending on stock Michelins is so much.
I would like to spend a little more and get a more aggressive tire.

I was referring to jst2878's post where he said "seems cheap because they are". I now realize that I may have misinterpreted the post. He may have been referring to the actual price being cheap and not the tire being a "cheap" product.
