Toyo Proxes4 fitted...Disappointing

After a decent amount of research for a tire replacement for my 40K miles + Yokohama ES-100's, I had the new Proxes4 put on yesterday. Very Disappointing. The Proxes4 feel "floaty", steering response has decreased and I now have tire spin in 2 gear and even grabbing issues in third. These are the 205-50-16's. I know others have reported an imporvement on the 17 inch proxes4 but for the 16's, it is a definite decrease in performance going to the Toyo's from the Yoko's. I called the tire place who put them on and they are very gracious to replace them with whatever I choose. So now I have a new quick decision to make. Anyone want to make a fast suggestion? I know this is a beaten topic but I have to do some quick research and make a decision pretty fast. I'm trying to keep it under $500 for the 4 (that insludes road hazard) which I was able to do with the proxes4 (and the es-100's).
The only positive thing I can say about the Proxes4 is that they are a bit quieter than the yoko's. Off to research...
