Yes mate, superb tyres for dry grip, superb for wet grip terrible when damp !
Wear rate is astonishing, I have them on a 300Hp classic and they have lasted 8k miles and the fronts are worn badly now I need to replace all 4 very soon !
I drive it like I stole it so you could probably get more miles if your sensible.
I have had Toyo T1 in the past and they are not as good for out and out grip and the sidewalls tend to be a bit soft but the wear rate was a lot better, im told the TI-R is better than the old TI-S , im not sure what to put on mine now, I fancy the TOYO's from a practicalk point of view but the PArada's are the **** for hard driving. Also looking at the Kumho KU15 as it's supposed to be the **** in the dry !

Default Tyres

No I have not.

At the moment I have Goodyear, great tyre, put them on when I went to 17 rims.

Still have my orignal 16 Subaru (STI v2 Type RA Vltd) wheels in the garage with new firestone tyres on. Done about 30 to 50 miles and I mean 30 to 50 not 1050. Have a deep tread, ideal for a winter tyre good handling, but must admit I did not push them (not even scrubbed in yet) at all. Rims good condition. No good to me after I had a brake up grade. No there not for free.
