it turns in pretty good actually. used to have problems with some shitty marshal tyres so put a couple of the toyos on my standard wheels and the difference was like night and day.
if anything the back end wants to come out more than the front.

I bought my car last January (but only got to drive it from February) and it had 2 week old proxes 4 tyres on the front. By the end of may they were illegal on the insides, and my front wheels only have a small amount of camber - it wasn't worn due to tracking. Also they never had any grip in any situation whatsoever. Terrible in the dry and appalling in the wet. It was virtually impossible to pull away even gently in the wet without wheelspin. So overall, my verdict is avoid like a plague infested aids carrier.

Not at all As I hadn't had the car long I was taking it easy. Got Yoko S Drives on now and they're still holding up very well after a year and about 8k miles. Barely look like they've worn at all and they have much more grip. They get more punishment, too

I've had Toyo T1R's and Kumho KU31's on the same car, and the Toyos were miles better. KU31's seemed like proper budget tyres.
