Toyo vs Michelin
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

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.

I'm too careful with £££ to buy Cups lol..... The Yokohama AD08's have 8mm of tread so I'd buy those with their extra 3mm over the Cups...

The Michelins are fantastic but i am a tight scot so i went for falken 452 great all round tyre and only £400 + vat for 4 bargin
 If you want to know what they are like ask billyboy he thought i was on cups at donny he was quicker in the slow corners but every where else i was as quick

I'm a bit "once bitten twice shy" when it comes to 452s as I had a set on a Mk1 Focus RS running 330bhp and they were awful... Might be completely different on RWD but I didn't want to chance it..

The AD08 are not as good as 888 as track tyre, and the 888 are leagues behind the Cups. |
