Been offered either for my new alloys....which would you go for?
The original offer was the Toyos, but they emailed me stating they thought the A539 was better for my car.....
Tempted to stick with the Toyo tbh but not used either tyre. Tyres will primarily be used for normal road use and not screaming around the place like a nutter.

I prefer A539's - over toyos as the toyos wear quite quickly!

I'd go for the yokohama's purely cos i've had them and think they are great. Not used toyo's but have heard they don't last.,

Toyos out of the 2 (even of I haven't used them)
A539s are rubbish in the wet, I have them on and i wouldn't recommend them at all.
Getting some Rainsports very soon

2 for 1 against...hmm, just spoke to the supplier on the 'phone and he says the A539s would be better overall. He needs to send the wheels today, new ebayer etc so looking to build up his feedback.
A539s I asked for being the indecisive git I am

good luck with the A539 especially in this weather.
the 2 answers you got were only about the Toyos wearing quicker.
A539 are great in dry conditions. But in the wet,

You're not the first to have said that either Abdus but I mostly drive around the city and up the motorway on occasion. Guess I'll have to be extra careful....which is my normal driving style anyway.
Likely I'll invest in a quality set of tyres in the New Year anyway

even driving carefully with the a539 is rubbish (in the wet)

Aren't the F1's far dearer though?

You're not doing me any favours Abdus.....I guess you have to learn how to get the best out of/know the limitations of.....which often has to be found out for oneself.
