Had em on my 205 GTi6 and loved them, the German AA tested them and said they sucked in the wet, but I couldn't spin them up with 180bhp and FWD on a 800kg car

Love my Toyos. Good grip in the wet, fantastic in the dry, not much road noise and plenty of warning when they are going to let go.

Falken? Pah........chav stuff.
You'll be wanting blue fluo lights along the sills to go with them? And I know where you can buy a gearknob that LIGHTS UP!!!!!!

You ****

As previously discussed I don't like the way the Toyo's give you NO warning when letting go. Dry grip is good, wet grip a little sketchy and as for pre-warning... pah! Dementia Jeff

I'll give the chav stuff a try since I drive a nice discreet silver wagon whilst you're hooning around in a giant red classic with a 1,000,000bhp and ironing board spoiler



When you back from France old boy??
