I had them on the Golf - pretty good; much better than Pirelli P6000s. Nice and quiet for motorway cruising too. A of a 'feathery' feel though to the steering

i rate these very highly, they are very grippy in the wet and average-good in the dry.

Its just a shame they dont last to long.

Hmmmm. I'm not all that convinced. I've found them for £43 each but if they're not gonna last long, then I'll look elsewhere!

What kind of miles do you get with a set?

I've got em in 16's. They r ok but not brilliant. They look like tractor tyres from the side- not good. I wouldn't go 4 them again.

I cant believe people dont get on with toyo proxes, I've got them on the front and I think they are amazing in wet and dry! The fact you can get them for £41 each helpts as well.
