Replaced my usual Pirelli Pzeros with two of these on the rear. Grip in the dry is easily as good if not better. Grip in the wet far out-performs the Pzeros, and they keep their performance as they wear (which is definitely NOT the case with the Pirellis!). I'd say that my original Yoko A03's were grippier in the dry, but overall I think the Toyo's are marginally the best tyres I've had so far, mainly because of their stability in the wet. Useless in snow, but so are most tyres on an MR2...

Not impressed with these tyres. They grip well in the dry, but in the wet I don't rate the grip at all. They also have poor aquaplaning performance. They also make a fair bit of noise, and wear quickly. The Max power crew rave about these tyres, but I think they are very overrated. I won't be buying again, as some budget tyres perform better.

I was pretty unimpressed with these tyres considering they have a good reputation. Grip in the wet is mediocre although dry grip is very good. Tyres also lacked bite during sharp turn ins and wears quickly. Overall a good tyre but not an exceptional one.
