Managed to get some time get a full set of Toyo's fitted this afternoon and by god what a transformation! 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 smile

did you have GoodYears? 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.

I had Nankang sports but to be fair they were a few years old and past their best.

Good rubber makes all the difference especially on a car like the Coupe. My only issue with the T1R's is the wear rate.

Just replaced the rear set on the fiat and fronts on the porker, its made an unbelievable effect on ride quality, Old tyres seem to go very very hard and crashy

£202 to be exact from EBay trader with free delivery. 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.......:)
