i aint got a saph any more, :( but when i did i had goodyear eagle f1's gsd3's, then toyo t1r's which i was impressed with for the road, have yokohama parada's on the 3 door, which are ok,

do you do any track day's? or just road use?

i'd recommend the t1r's as an everyday tyre, parada's are shocking in the wet!!

Great tyre for the money, outpeform alot of so call "performance tyres", not going to get into a bickering match as tyres are a personal thing i always find and somehow i alays end up argueing with people about them on forums!

Exactly, i like a tyre that'll give away progresivly raher than just letting go!
I am a tyre fitter by trade so it winds me up when people (usually who dont work in the automotive trade at all) know more than me about tyres!
