I've got them on my coop and I think they are a great tyre. Excellent grip and seem to wear quite well. I haven't tried the Toyos but most people on here rave about them, so you can't go wrong with either of those choices in my opinion.

The Falkens are going for £60 a piece at the mo special deal, and there bit more than the toyos, thats why i wondered about them, are they a better tyre???, every tyre seller i go onto makes the falkens higher priced, but i have heard alot of people saying about the Toyo's

I had Toyos on my Coupé before I changed to falken 452s. The Falkens are just about as good as the Toyos, but last a hell of a lot longer. The Toyos are probably a bit beter in the wet but not a great deal of difference in the dry.

went to a local supplier and fitter for a laugh today, they wanted £307 +vat for two proxies fitted to the front of my car!!!!!!, feckers!!!


***DILEMA***
do i order the proxies in a 40 or a 45 profile, i have bilstein shocks and eibach springs, so i guess a slightley higher sidewall would retain some comfort?

I got 4 Toyos in 205/50 from camskill, £240 delivered, it will cost me £60 to get fitted and balanced, thats saving about £100+ from garages that i have rang to see about prices on toyos, or even other tyres, £100+ per tyre some wanted to charge then fitting, there taking the piss.


205/50 look nicer than the 225/45 i have on my car, slightly rounder on the edges which i like \:D sorted
