I Have just bought some in the 18 i changed from toyo t1r,s they are good, just have a different feel to the toyo,s especially when moving across lanes or overtaking they feel stiffer. Which cant be a bd thing.

But for sure different............

Super in dry, ok in wet; there are tyres that worse perform alot worse on wet roads that cost alot more:

Cheap too. 17" versions worked out at £60 each...bargain! (although You should pay no more that £80 - as I got mine trade)


So hunt round on prices

i found the hard compound of the trye to work when warm aswell, didnt like going round the rounadabouts tho in the wet, tbh mate your better of buying some avon zz3's. I can get a good price on them in 18s if intressted as i just bought 4.

let me know if intressted.

Had a full set on P1 wheels on my classic, thought they were great, wet or dry..

Would have another set, but they don't seem to do a 225 45 17 ?

I am finding them fine, it seems really slow speeds round a wet island are worse than faster speeds?
They look the bollocks aswell.

Great in warm dry, ok in wet, absolute death traps in cold weather. This tyre will not grip unless warm in my experience, far worse in the cold than my old bridgestones. Can be got for about £60 delivered from the internet.
