Not too sure. I have heard nothing but good about toyo really. Makes me wonder now. I had some horrible luck with BF Goodrich Radial T/A's a few years back. Kept losing the tread off of them for some reason. Bought 4 new ones and within a year all four of them had been replaced due to the tyre just shelling out. About a year later i had replaced the replacements with another brand and it stopped. I think the most memorable was 75 mph and one front tyre just went bang and there we go. I hear the newer BF's are really good though. Might give them a try when i wear these ones out.? :smiley:

I had a couple of new BFs about ten years ago on the Golf. They were fantastic, they were wet weather tyres, they gripped like anything in the dry, held on better in the wet than the P600s in the dry, and glued the car in greasy conditions.

And the best bit - they lasted 45k miles!

I'm going BF on all corners next year.

I use Toyos on the Golf and the G40 and they are easily the best all round tyre I have tried. The only tyre I found that gripped better in the dry was Yokos but they turned into ice skates in the wet.

I doubt you'll be dissapointed. Just let the slippy coating wear off for a few miles before you start testing them out!  :cool:
