   Right,
   
   Im in need of some new front tyres. At the minute i ahve Toyo Proxis all round but the front two are like slicks now, lol
   
   i have had a look around and the Toyo and Yoko tyres seem to be the same sort of price (£56ish) but have found some Falken ones that are £42.
   
   is there a difference apart from the price?
   what would you choose?

   Yoko Parada Spec 2, think they're about £35 a corner for 195/50/15, and apparently they're as good as the Proxes.

   If you have Toyos all round (assuming T1S or T1R), stick new Toyos on the front. Yokos are just silly in the wet.
