Agree great tyres IMO but i thought A520 were discontinued by Yoko.

Have recently found out that 3 out of 4 tyres need replacing.
Currently have Pirelli P-Zero Asymmetrico in 205/45 ZR 17 on but as nearly all need replacing, thought that this may be a good time to change tyre type.
Anyone have any stories on the Yoko A520 or best place to but these ??
Thanks....

 

A520's are a fantastic hot hatch dry weather tyre. Show them some rain and they are horrible. They wear quite fast too.
I haven't got a clue what they're like on a Scoob, but IMO you'd be better off using Toyo's.
Do a search

 

Have had Toyos on my 01 and now changed to Goodyear F1 GSD3's. I'm REALLY impressed with the Goodyears and they get the vote over toyos anyday!! (Had A520's on my BM coupe and like the man says,they do wear fast!! )

Good luck

Had some A520's on my old wagon(few years ago) and wasn't impressed. Wet grip is pretty poor...as most are saying on here at the moment, Goodyear F1 seem to be the way, very pleased with mine...dealer had quoted £380 inclusive of fitting, balancing and vat for 215/40/17..

Thanks guys, comments are really helpful. Looks like the A520s are out then as we do tend to get quite a bit of rain in the UK !!!!
