Default tyres

I have these currently on my sti. The tyres seem fine to me. They are soft compound meaning they will wear more then some other makes, depends how often you drive the car. The car does however feel more glued to the road because of this and smoother (well thats my opionion)

My previous tyres were the standard recommended tyres (RE70) which I found to be quite firm and bouncy.

I think about a year and a half ago I paid £310 for the Toyos from Blackcircles and paid my mate £20 at kwik fit to fit them.

PS. I have also noticed the tyres are slightly wearing on the inside and outside which happens no matter if the tyres are correctly inflated and the tracking is aligned. Anyway hope that helps.

my mistake, sorry I meant the Toyo Proxies P1, i guess the r1r's are new. this is over a year and a half ago so probably discontinued.
