Default Tires

I currently have Michelin 235/80R 22.5 installed on our 2005 SunVoyager but there are none available for 2-3 months (back Order)
It was suggested I replace four of them with Toyo 245R75 22.5 tires but I asked if they can be mixed and are they as good as Michelin's
The dealer said he does not stock Michelins and he thinks they are equivalint or bette. but he said they are not as wide as Michelin tires
I asked if the load rating was the same and he is checking.
Price is very different Michelins cost 465 a tire plus 100 a tire to install. Toyo's cost 372 a tire and 40 dollars a tire to install.
He said they use a floating weight inside the tire instead of spin ballance to make the balancing easier and seems to work ok!

Looking for opinions of should I wait for Michelins to arrive or go with the less expensive tire ? and can I have the michelins as the outside tire on the rear axils ?
