i've had both of the toyos and ive got michelins on at the mo, the michelins have'nt impressed me as much as i was expecting but are still a good tyre.
out of the 3 i've had i'd just get the cheapest toyo's, none have particularly impressed me more than others. might try F1's next

i have toyos and think they are crap, no grip in the wet, worn out quickly, and i'm replacing them with michelin pilot sport 2s, as i get them at cost at work
dont buy tyres cos they are cheap, you'll end up replacing them 2 or 3 times in the time that a decent set would have lasted
goodyear or mich imo

broster has michelin, and hes had them for a while now, he abuses them more than i do mine, and they seem to be wearing well
mine (t1-s) are feathering on the offside outer edge due to roundabout abuse, and have less tread than his even though i've had them less time
we get people coming into work daily complaining about toyo, saying they were sold them as a good quality tyre, and swapping them for more expensive ones
you get what you pay for, but then again, its down to personal preferance, some people like pirelli, others dont
if i was buying a cheaper tyre, i'd go for hankook, which are oe spec on new fords, volvos, renaults, and other makes
EVERY customer we have fitted them for has bought them again and commented on how well they perform and wear, and how good value for money they are

michelins, last miles longer than most tyres out there and are a good all round performer

Toyos are too soft for everyday use.
