Although the toyo deemed more suited to the high performance version, makes you wonder why they didn't keep using the hankook?

Do any manufacturers stick on toyos from new? If not, theres probably a reason for it.
How are those fk springs doing for you? Pretty sure there's no manufacturer that fits fk springs

Typical response from someone who's posts hypocritical stuff. You and pug nut should hang out some time.

How is it hypocritical? thw fk's were too low and I couldn't get over the speedbumps in work without scraping so raised the suspension by fitting eibachs, which you can clearly see here:

i mean throughout the range. They obviously picked the hankook on the base models and a more suitable tyre for the high end performance version is all I meant.

You tell people to just buy products that manufacturers use but then don't follow suit

I've told you about I bought eibachs. I bought the FK springs because they were cheap, not because they were good.

As above, you're the one who used that as an example, not me. Perhaps you need to read the title yourself?

You can get good quality cheap tyres. It all depends on what your definition of cheap is.

Got some fitted today eventually.
Went for the Goodyear eagle F1 asymmetric 2. £185 for 2 fitted. No verdict yet as I've driven 10 miles home in the rain and traffic.

Seemed quite good really, no one pushed me out of the way or anything. So the grip kept my place in the queue pretty well.

Do you feel confident enough to drive through puddles or will you need to call the rac?
