    toyo's are a good tyre but are a little on the soft side, so they tend to wear quick. not sure about the goodyears but some people rave on about them so they must be good.

    good years are great and will last so the best roed tyre for wear and performance. may want to pump them up harder as the tyre walls could be doin with being harder

    Ive had Toyo Proxes and the Yoko's

    The proxes are awesome, cant fault them in any driving condition atall.

    Yoko's were good in the dry but i found them to be appauling in the wet.
