Had another point / question I forgot to include in my previous post.
I'm curious about the snow capabilities of the Toyo. One of the
reasons I originally went with the Michelins on my Camry was that they
were rated somewhat higher for snow than the Dunlap A2. My local
dealer told me he liked the Dunlap as a tire, but agreed that in his
opinion they were noisier than the Michelins and did not do as well in
snow.

One problem with Michelin is that they are much more expensive than
their competition. The Toyo sounds like a good alternative based on
your experience.
