I had a set of avons on my last golf and they were great - if a little slippy in the wet - but very predictable!

I had 4 Toyo Proxes T1R delivered today from www.mytyres.co.uk and have to say that I was impressed with the service. Not tried the tyres yet as their stood next to me in the living room atm, but should be on by 9.30 in the morning.

I had some Goodyear Eage F1s fitted a couple of months ago. Fantastic dry grip, and very progressive.

I also recently got Toyo T1-R's for my golf - front two from guess where - mytyres :)

Excellent quick service - great tyres, half the price of the eagle f1's, which i had on before, have not noticed any less performance and they are quieter too!

Go for them!
