Very nice choice of new shoes, Tom. The F-Stones Desti's are a top-notch and well designed A/T tire with a center rib tread pattern for smooth highway cruising.
However: once you get used to the more refined and quiet ride of the AT's, I doubt you'll ever go back to the noisy and bumpy riding MT's. I had experienced the same thing 30 years ago with the BFG M/T's on my FJ-40 as they constantly rattled my teeth loose down the road. I then later switched to the BFG A/T's on my FJ-40, and swore I'd never go back to any kind of M/T on my vehicles ever again (and I didn't).
Your Proton looks great with the new shoes, Tom!!! Congrats.
