So why not a little less PSI in the rear?   THere's a lot less weight back there!!

I run them and they're awesome in the dry and wicked in the wet! I've been round corners doing 60 in the wet when 'normal' drivers take it at 40 in the dry. I'm on my 2nd set they're so good.

Hello Dizzie


The Yoko A539 is good looking, very good in dry conditions but i have to say they are bollocks in the wet because once you have used a set of Goodyear Eagle F1s they are bloody fantastic and anything else just seems inferior - A539 in significantly inferior on in the wet.  However, it is my second set of A539 too, and i hear you cry why buy them if you think they are bollocks in the wet?  Because they have a very high tread wear which means they last me ages about 20,000 miles, look at the side wall on your tire and it will tell you that the tread wear in 280, Goodyear Eagle f1 have a low tread wear about 160 and they only lasted me 9000 miles but bloody good wet handling!!

Im thinking with my wallet, and so are you for choosing Yoko coz they last ages.

Yoko have a new tyre out , have you seen it? Cant remember the name but its got a phat pattern, looking for reviews of tyre, but no luck

your front should be higher than the rear in order to compensate for the increased weight of the engine
