Hi Chandler

Not sure which are best (call Mark or Malcolm @ Tyres Northampton 01604 588599), but neither are that good...

S02's / Toyo's are some of the best road tyres you can get, but they may not feel best to you...

Best to give Mark or Malc a call, they can advise you based on your driving style.

Cheers

Simon

P6000 are OK, we have them on our Legacy. They last well, are quiet and handle reasonably. I would suggest something better on a Turbo though. I've just fitted SO2PP - excellent.

I have SO1's 205x40x17's for £130 each inc fitting/balancing.
First time with Bridgestones and they are great, although the guy recommended considering the Toyo's, they were £100 each.

Toyo's - any particular grade/part no.

Hi Chandler

Sorry, I mis-understood..

This is a classic example of why you can never say "X is better than Y"..

P1 WR - take note!

Simon

PS. Sorry, not sure on wear rates.. mind you, mark or malc will know.

I've got some Firestone F690 tyres on my car. They are okay but nothing special, not as much grip as the Goodyear Eagle NCT2 that was on before. I've done about 15000 on them and they are about half worn, I swap them front to back at each service.
