Got mine from Scoobyworld and like them a lot. Not as good as SO2's but far better than the PZero's.

Ed,

Try mytyres.net - got mine from scoobyworld for £78ish delivered but I heard the other day that mytyres are doing them for £65.80 delivered!

Have Toyos on my RB5 and has made a noticeable difference to grip - especially in the wet (after scrubbing in for a 100 mile or so)...

Cheers,

Shanno

Theres a 20 page tyre test in this weeks Autocar magazine but unfortunately Toyo declined to take part (so did Bridgestone). It was Pirelli that came out the winner. It was interesting to see that a mondeo fitted with pirelli's was 1.5 secs faster a lap than an M3 with over twice the power!!!

Talking

Toyo's had them on 16 inch wheels and was very happy.

I got 17 inch wheels now for my MY00 and got my tyres from http://www.mytyres.net for £68.20 or £272.80 for 4 (for those who need help).

Got the tyres in 3 days!!! Then took them to a tyre place and got them fitted for £30. I'm really pleased and saved a fortune reading up on here.
