right i am looking at def keeping corsa thanks to some pursauding from a few peeps 
my current wheels, the T12's, are looking at tad worse for wear
now i can either spend 150 to have the fully refurbed (powdercoated) in athracite and a further 100 quid on some more toyo's so all my tyres are decent and not budgets lol
or save the 250, sell the wheel for 200- 250ish and buy some 15" team dynamics pro race 1.2 in balck on budget tyres and upgrade tyres later on before trax (for a bit of trax action)
ppls ideas???
cheers nath

might as well be on slicks in he wet and jus loads of tyre squeal all the time and the "legendery grip" in the dry is just non existant.
Best tyres I ever had were Yoko AVS sports and a close second was Eagle F1's and I know this as i used to change my tyres every 6 months maybe less sometimes

dont buy them again. its false economy. the F1s would hardly be worn now.

not bad. not a fan really, i prefer directional tyres really. assymetric ones dont do it for me, i cant see how they can work as well on both sides....
