Are these any good.
I need a couple of new tyres for my motor.
I rang Elite in Rainham and they reccommended Toyo`s.
Does anyone have any experiences with Toyo.
Thanks in advance.

Have had Toyo's since March. Much better than the Bridgstones.
Have a ring round as you can probably get them cheaper somewhere other than Elite.
I am never that sure about Elite as they take your car so you cannot see what they are doing. I am not having a dig but I would much rather see how the tyres are being taken off/put on.

SiPie - You at Jim Dickson's on Saturday? I was having my first set of Toyos fitted. All I can say is OH MY GOD 
What a transformation from the standard RE011s!!
Driving is far more pleasurable.

Not me Gamm... got them fitted in Penicuik.
BUT must agree with you 100%. I was trying to cast my mind back to when the SO3's were brand new.... but these are different class and not nearly as harsh a ride as the SO3's...
Cheers

THEY ARE LOADS NOISIER THAN THE OEM TYRES ON THE MOTORWAY

Sounds really odd as the Toyos I have put on are silent in comparison to the SO3's.....? Running slightly lower pressures with the Toyos but taht still shouldn't account for so much of a noise difference.
Also... they stopped the brutal tramlining I was having with the SO3's.

The other thing ive noticed is......
They look WICKED - loads more menacing tread than the OEM's.
Tramlining has disapeared!!!
Nice grip after my first set of proper corners...!!!

yes you're quite correct Tony, our 16" TOYO's are slightly more expensive than 17" - its simply down to the fact that our distributer gives us a better price on the 17's over the 16's - the 17" Toyo's are more popular and hence the price is better.
hope this helps

I just went onto www.mytyres.net
and their site is saying...
4X 215/40 ZR16 Toyo Proxes + vat n delivery = £218.40 that's £54.60 per corner! which is like awesome, is it right?
Also the 215/40's will fit a standard MY99 right?
mmm just delved a bit deeper, these tyres might cause some speedo differences
shame as theyre £20 cheaper than the 205/50's

TOYO'S are the nuts ! I had emm for 30,000 miles and drove the car hard ! never had the back out once in the dry or wet !!says it all.
if you drive hard. I NEVER get more than 3000 miles out of a set of tyres, and that's not driving it hard all the time!No offence intended.

WendyT,
I finally got the 17" OZs + Toyos that were meant to be with me last Friday. After finding out they'd been loaded to be delivered again when I got to the office, I intercepted the Lynx van just before he made the delivery to my parents house...
I look forward to trying them out.
BTW, I received the ITG filter and headlight protectors yesterday,
Thanks,
