Toyos or Falkens?????
« on: 15 March 2009, 12:49 »
As much as I'd like to wait and get some Eages or even Pilots, if I wanna sort my tracking as well then my immediate budget will only stretch to Falken or Toyo tyres.  Both 50 quid each for 185's.





Which are the best??


cheers IA

Toyo T1-Rs will see you right.  195/50 R15 is very common and thus cheap.

Just because you're offended doesn't make you right.

Got 185's on at the mo.  I see 195's are cheaper.  Do they appear different sat on rims??   It may be worth it as the rears aren't gonna be far behind.

6 and half a dozen. buying tyres based on how they look is like buying a film because you liked the colour of the box.
