Toyo vs Michelin

Steve B · 13-11-2012, 02:09 PM

I'm torn between the 2......

Its Michelin Pilot Super Sports vs Toyo T1Sports

(not even considering Cups and even if I did I'd be going Yokohama AD08's)

Toyos are £700 the set, Michelins are £850

I've now spent 2 days looking at reviews etc and possibly read every tyre thread on here lol..

Plus is there any advantage in running 275/30 on the rear???

HELP...!!!!!!!!

Thanks for any input/advice etc
Steve

Look for the wet weather report on tyres that might change your mind to Michelin's it did me

I know what you mean.... a mate of mine recently did a track day Spa in the wet and seriously rated the Toyos..

stick with the michelines,

im running super sports and they are a great allrounder,

i find toyos are so soft you just eat through them super quick.

iv got AD08's on my track car and they are also a fantastic allrounder and will defo be getting them again.
