i had bridgestones on my last sti and have toyo t1rs on the new car. the bridgestones were better but wore quicker and more expensive. The toyos seem a harder compound and less grippy but were cheaper.

Not sure what you drive, but recently told that if a new age they are too soft due to the weight of a modern car. Check out my thread in the Tyres section, I've just opted for Vrendsteins, they they are a bargain and excellent reviews on the net.

If this post was meant for me I disagree! as the RE070's where designed for the Hawkeye STI, I have had 20000 miles form mine with a fast road geometry setting and still going strong. Also never had a problem with them in bad conditions either, and they look very cool with the semi slick appearance £125.00 fully fitted
