+1, better than both the mentioned tyres and only about 10 quid more per corner

Toyos are too soft for a newage STI, mine couldn't hack it and didn't last long...

My thoughts exactly Tony. Never tried the Falkens but i've had T1Rs and the Sessanta's are by far the best tyre, both wet & dry

Of the two go with the Toyos, love them on my classic. Sessantas are great and I run them on my newage. Had alot of fun with my Toyos so can't really fault them, only comment would be that they grip, grip, grip, go where as the Sessantas grip and squeal like a pig, so even if you can't feel it going the noise lets you know how close you are to seeing your **** go passed you.

had toyo t1r's on the last scoob lee and i found the new age cars are to heavy for them and chewed them up quickly. Now on my scoob ive got the yokohama parada spec 2 and i find these fantastic tyres for the new age scoob. But as your scoob is a classic the toyo could be good for you m8

Toyo T1-R's are a good budget tyre but there are many others that are a lot better imo, but obviously cost a lot more.

Fine though for normal "not expecting the earth" road use.
