The first thing I noticed when I got these tyres, was how much lighter the steering was.
My previous tyres were Diamondbacks, typical $49 bargain bin junk, I drove the car 500KM before putting them on the rear and getting new tyres for the front.
The vehicle I drive is a 1994 Ford Laser.
Grip: Dry grip is much better, with the diamondbacks in first gear there was more torque steer, and more likelyhood of getting wheelspin.
With the Toyo's it's definitely more of a challenge to get the wheels to spin.
Progressiveness: I haven't used them long enough to judge, I have experienced understeer, but only in full throttle while cornering situations.
Wet grip: In the wet they are brilliant, after changing from the diamondbacks I was convinced my car was down on power, but it just feels slower due to the better ride and increased grip.
Buy again: I'm not sure if I would, only because I'm yet to try other brands, I like the tyre, and I probably would choose it again, but curiosity means I'll try a different brand next time.
Road noise seems very low at 100-110KM/H.
