Had Toyo's two months now, done 4000 miles on them and not that impressed. They seem to be wearing quickly, and the grip is not that impressive compared to my original Bridgestine REO11's.

MY02 WRX running 17" prodrive wheels, lowered Prodrive suspension.

I always use Toyos now and like their progressive characteristics especially in the wet. Not the stickiest but consistant and lets you play with the 4WD. what pressures are you running? I use 38 fronts (40 in dryer weather) and 34 on the rears (RB5). Anything less than this really eats the front outer edges. Last set lasted 14k miles, same as the previous set.

TSL did my suspension and alignment and left the tyres with 33 in the front and 30 in the rear.
Toyo's have done 10k and presently have 5mm of tread left and i don't drive like a tart.
