Default Tires: Falkens or Toyos?

Hi. I have to replace my tires ASAP. I have 245/35/20s all around. I had pirellis, now switching to either Toyos (not sure what type) or Falken FK 452s. Any experience with these? The Falkens are a little bit more, but not much.

Im torn like you but between the BFG KDW2s and the FK 452, Ive heard the BFG are noisy and I heard the 452s are noisy when they wear out. I know the BFGs will perform outstanding but noise is becoming an issue for me, I dont want my car to sound like a 4x4

Default Toyos

The Toyos are the proxes 4. They have a good warranty, they are a little bit cheaper, but I am not sure.

I think I am leaning toward the falkens. I think I like the look of the tread better too . . .

Personally, I would go with the Toyo T1R. They are better in quality than the Falken and plus the Falkens wears out pretty quick.
