I had a nail that cut into my OE Yokohama E70 on my 2008 Toyota Estima Aera G at about 1.5 year (30,000 km mileage). I changed all 4 tires to the Toyo Proxes 1CS.
Let's talk about the positive side of this tires
1. It has a treadwear rating of 300, Traction rating of AA and temp. of A.
2. Steel belted on the tread side that made it very insubsceptible to nail puncture. In fact, I saw a screw that breaks half way and did not penetrated the tire.
3. It is reinforced and can carry extra load. Mine is rated at 98, enough for 3000kg of laden weight.
4. Even tire wear at the edge of the tire. This is very good as I don't get the wear off at the edges of the tire anymore.
Now the negative
1. It is only quiet when new. When the tread level goes below half worn, it is noisy.
2. If you don't have a lot of tire shop that deliver Toyo in your area, please do not get this as Toyo is very difficult to source in certain area.
3. It has a bumpy feel even I applied tire UV protector on the sidewall weekly and this tires are less than 1 year old only. Maybe due to the stiffer sidewalls.
This is a good tire if country have good Toyo dealership and support.
