   If its just for road driving, they are a really good tyre for the price.
   Think i paid £32 a tyre when i got a set. 195/50/15s.
   
   What sort of price are you getting them for?

   Also do 2 or 3 trackdays a year...but i can't afford semi slicks.

   I was torn between these and Kumho KU31s, ended up going for these - very good for the money. The sidewalls are a little on the soft side, so you tend to get a little bit of tramlining. Nothing outrageous though.

   For the price, for better than any Toyo offering in VTR sizes IMO

   I have a set on my VTR and they are pretty nice for what I paid for them.

   I tracked mine at the ring no bother with them, think i may have done knockhill on them to. They were ok, but not the best for trackdays as they will over heat quickly.

    Kumho KU31s are discontinued now. Decent tyres IMO.
    
    Running the ZE912s on the back of my Mazda now, and they seem to be good tyres.
