Are the Asymetric ones the replacement?
I do prefer directional tyres and run the Eagle F1 GS-D3 usually.

I wrecked a pair of toyos in 4k in my 1.2 once
I would pay the extra for the Eagle F1's. I used to swear by the Toyo tyres but never looked back after I changed

iv been told a set of eagle f1's ran out about 6k and the toyos ran about after 5k, would you say they would last more than 1k over the toyos

Do you drive like a complete cunt?
If your a bit careful, I don't see why you wouldn't get 10-12k out of a set of F1's. It's up to you mate, it's your cash. I know what i'd buy though.
