Are they really soft and fast wearing though?
How are they in the wet?

Had yoko A509's on last car and they were pants in the wet and wore quickly in the dry.. are these the same? I don't want anything 'too' soft but I want grippy tires in the wet / dry as well...

They are nothing like the A509's (pants is a bit of an understatment!). In comparison to the Toyo T1s they are much better in both wet and dry and last at least as long.

Cool, cheers mate, may give them a go then.... the saving on the F1's will pay for the 4-wheel alignment to be done.

Nice pic mate, does anything last smokin' like that?

Whats the load rating on them, isn't it 83? The reason I ask is that the F1's have a lot of split sidewalls on a load rating of 83 - found this in a thread on here somewhere - and everyone says it needs to be 87 or above? Does anyone know if this really is the case?
