Toyo Proxes4, I got these after the factory dunflops were rooted after 25,000kms. Much better traction, especially in the wet, and they are lasting longer without the grip level dropping off noticably. The rears are down to approx. 2mm off the tread marker and they still grip as well as new. I don't notice any undue noise, but the ute is pretty noisy anyway. I paid $320 a tyre a while back, $260 is a bit of a bargain I reckon. Maybe another one to chuck in the list is the Marangoni Mythos', mate has them on his VZ Calais and they seem pretty quiet and grippy. From memory they are around the low to mid 300 mark, I'm thinking of trying a set next on mine.
