The thing with Toyos is that they are much more progressive than the majority of other road tyres. I had some Nankang NS-IIs on my old car (yes i know! ) and the initial grip level seemed a bit higher than the Toyos and the felt more stable when tootling around but when the let go they let go suddenly. I found that the Toyos let you play with the slip angles much more.
Just my opinion but tyre choice is largely a personal thing 8)

A mate of mine had a brand new set.
He went and got some bigger wheels and sold them to me for £200. They normally are £68.00 each plus fitting from mytres.
In all inc fitting they have cost me £250.00

These may be the same, I dont know.
But for the money thet seemed a good deal at the time.
I did look on tyre test.com and they had very good ratings.
I'll just have to see what they are like over a period of time.

I can get these for £304 fitted and balance from event-tyres.co.uk. (no discount)

Maybe it's worth going for the Parada's Neil hun, they are around the same price range. Or we get another set of BF's the same as we have on the 15's as we know they are spot on all weathers.
