   had them on a different car aka corsa lol...went from yoko 539s think it was to the toyo's and toyo's seemed abit better...not as soft as the yoko's (which wore a little too fast for me) toyos were good in the rain...the yoko's were abit ditch finder like lol...i would recommend...im also buying em for each corner of the saxo in a month or 2...try www.blackcircles.com mate

   Just got 2 fitted on the front wheels of the ST at 9am this morning. I've been round the twisties already and all i can say is they're waaaayyyy better in the dry than my old avon zz3's!! Can't wait to get the back ones changed now but that won't be for a while yet!! Only thing left to test is how good they are in the wet

    Personally I rate michelin pilots more however for the money toyos win hands down every time. Lot of value for money - unbeatable really

    next year? nice bit of planning there!
    They are excellent for grip, but dont tend to last more than about 5 months on my sax, but it is very low and loves a bit of uneven wear. still go back to them every time though
