check out some sites and companies to see if wouldn't it be cheaper to see if you can get a new set of rims as part of a tyre & alloy package deal

How about Bridgestone RE050A (just to add to your problems)? Meant to be the best competitor to the Eagle F1's and are cheaper

My Eagle F1's seem so much quieter than the crap I've got on the front at the moment (blame the last owner).

I ran F1s on my coupe and Neros on the Corsa, both good tyres. No experience of the Toyos.

There's not much to set them apart tbh, depends how long you're keeping them.

why are you limited to those tyres, look at pilot exaltos and conti sport contacts, both great tyres, if not better than the ones you listed IMO

I have 2 new Yoko A539s in that size. for sale.

Toyo's i thought were ok. Last fairly long.
Depends on your power though...
Toyos tend to be "smaller" the sidewall is slightly tappered. So less likely to catch.
Goodyears are good all round. Don't know about others.
