thanks for all the replies....mixed opinions then on them...will see what they like...guess the tyre tread does get clogged up pretty quick in the snow then by the looks of it.i am sure i saw picture once in a tyre dealer of a blue sti fitted with them and being on the toyo ad.....not bad price tho i thought for the tyre and free fitting and none of that charging you for tyre disposal

For the money Vredestein Sessantas everytime. I have T1R's and Vreddy's and I don't hate the Toyo's. Good tyres but not a great deal of warning before they break away. Pressures need to be quite high 36/34 minimum. £179 seems alot of money unless fitted ?
