Nearly on my 3rd set of F1's and can't fault them, have Toyo's at the moment and don't rate them at all.

My last set of F1's lasted 7K more than the toyo's and gripped better in the wet and the dry, They were also awesome at clearing standing water on the motorway.

I've never tried the yoko's but I'm lead to beleive they wear out quicker due to a very soft compound

215 45 17 will most likely rub the arches on a classic - it is not the correct size. Get 215 40 17 or 205 45 17
