Any views on these tyres?
Sorry spelt it wrong first! Parada.
-
Also does anyone know about getting longer locking bolts?
-
The only thing I know about Yokos is that they wear like b*stard.
-
Yes and I've said the same myself! Just hoping these dont wear as quick as the A539's I had once (and not for long!)
read a couple of reviews and they praise its roadholding.
-
plus the tread patters pretty cool
was looking at gettin it Tattoed down my left side :evil:
-
Just tattoed?
-
?
-
Well if ya love it that much I could drive over yer arm. Guess that would leave an imprint! :laugh:
-
Cheeper than a tattoe aswell :grin:
-
Thanks for the more than kind offer but id rather have some slightly scary bloke drag a sewing machine like contraption covered in ink over my bare flesh to permenently scar it , than be run over
-
Thats gratitude for you :laugh:
-
True! he could at least got the imprint off!
-
They look cool in the flesh! :smug:

lol... lost the topic somewhere along the way here.
think it's 25% off michelins at kwik fit the now, so some PE2s would be a decent alternative.
i've just ordered toyo proxes for a wee change... :huh: lol
-
I've read a few reviews of Proxes and they seem to be a realy good tyre.

15s are quality but heard a few folk moan about them with the bigger sizes

I had yoko's on my last motor good tyres just tended to spin a little in the wet. Running toyo proxes now can't fault them

thats a bloody understatment. Its more like driving on ice with yokos. i find they dont have any grip whatsoever. thats in the wet though and no it isnt my driving

Im in the enviable position of being able to change my wheels and tyres every 6 months so i have ran both the Toyo T1R & Yoko Prada Spec 2 Review on both are:
TOYO
Probably the best tyre i have had in the wet, seriously i diddnt loose much grip on a damp road to dry!! Dry grip was as good as you need in most situations, the front only pushing out on the tighter fast corners but when it did it was progressive and not snappy as all. Wear was not bad, these i ran for the longest time of 12 months they needed replacing as the inside edge has gone (my fault diddnt re align when i fitted the wheels) other than that excellent tyre.
YOKO
Probably the best and worst tyre i have had. Best because the level of grip in the dry was astonishing, far more that i ever needed. Worst because of the wet grip, Im not joking, they were terrible. i would JUST about live with the wet cornering but straight line grip was, in my opinion, dangerous. Locking up when braking into a round about as normal speeds (the car in front was the same approach speed and broke later) is not what you want.
In sum up go for the Toyo, they give the same MPG at yoko and are even a little quieter. With the weather in this country, you will use the wet performance more that the exceptional dry of the Yoko.
Well thats what i think anyway!! :wink:

i got my longer bolts from a wheels and tyre place. literally pence! Think if you get a guy who knows what hes on about and can use wheel bolt catalogue and you show him an existing bolt he can cross reference and find you a longer one that they may have in stock!
