Do you have a link to the online test at all mate?

Not really had chance to give them a proper test yet, but I will on my way to work and report how I found them to be.

Yeah Auto express did a tyre test a few weeks aso in all conditions with different types of driving and I think it was the continental that came out overall winner. you could also try the new michelin pilot sport. They r supposed to be good.

Dont wheel spin at all, the odd handbreak to get round the tight corners or turn round, but nothing bad. I think its cos i fly around the roundabouts!

Looked at the Toyos the other day, anyone else use anything else?

I'd have to agree, Toyo's are the best all rounders, good looks, good performance, good price :thumbs: How the f*ck you get through a set of rubber in 2000??

iv found them very good in all conditions especially wet! and they dont wear out too quick (like yokos), wel not with my drivin.

do u do wheel spins and hand break turns etc?

i just got 2 new proxes @£40 each (normally about £45ish for 195/45 15")

Got a set of Yokos on my car at the moment, and ive used them up in 2000 miles. :(

Need to get some new ones, what do people recommend? I found that the Yokos where good in the dry, v.bad in the wet, and have warn a lot faster then i had hoped. Prepared to pay the money out on the best tyres, but not sure which make to go for.

Any recommendations?!

Cheers
