I was talking about how crashy the car was riding to some of the guys at Piazza Italia on Monday and now it's like driving a different car. Best £200 spent this year

Just put Toyos on my MGF and I am absoulutely loving driving it round on B road blasts...had Good Year F1's and the Toyos are so much better, smoother, grippier, lovely. Put Avons on the Coupe and I like them too, had Falkens' before and they were not as good IMO. Last edited by Submariner; 08/04/2015 20:09.

Local chap fitted them for me for £10 a wheel so not too bad. They are 205 50 15's on the 20v don't forget. Took a ride out today and the ride at higher motorways speeds is so much smoother and stable not that I exceeded the speed limit at any time.......:)
