They are quite soft from memory, and do tend to wear out a tad quicker as a result.
Good tyres though.

From several sources Toyo T1's and Goodyear Eagle F1's are the best performance tyre money can buy..

CP used to use Toyos on his car for track days and stuff which is good enough for me! lol..

Bear in mind unless you know a tyre fitter it'll be an arse fiding somewhere to fit them for you if you buy online..

Used my tyres a few years back and was very impressed with them..

Id say toyo's are as good as goodyear f1's in the dry and ok in the wet, but the f1's are excellent in the wet.

i got my toyo's from mytyres and found them good to deal with,

just bought a yoko for the golf from www.topgear.co.uk who were also quite cheap and worth looking at

Had Toyo's for a while now - I find the give excellent grip in the wet and dry and mine have lasted well (probably almost 3 years old now).

I'd recommend 'em to anyone.

is that when the golfs camber was "in france" hee hee


the eagle F1's on the back of the omega seem to be taking the punishment well, lots of driving like an arse etc and 15K miles on them too.

marks beemer seems to run fine with proxies on is and they take the beating too
