I've used Toyos for the last couple of years and have always found them to grip really well.

haha no, I had my beloved MOHAWKS on the front and as Pat and Ryder will tell you, nearly died on Sunday taking a bend at 40.....normally car would handle that nor problem.....went sideways! Really sideways, were talking brown trouser moment! Was impressed by my driving skills though! Managed to recover it and get it strate!

iirc , tyre places are supposed to put new/better tyres on the back of the car ,it could well be law actually , some people hum but in therio its easer to correct under steer (slow down !!) than over steer

Or Lassa tyres as on my dad's Fiat? Only £36 a corner! lol

Ohhh those R1R's... I WANT them sooooo much! There's no plans to have our exact size available in the UK yet. Boo!

The Toyo R888's are fab if no raaaaaaather quick wearing tyres (4,000+ miles and I'd say they're done!)
