scoobysailor Posted June 13, 2009 Posted June 13, 2009 Had Toyo's on my last wheels and they are going on these ones when I need to get some new tyres
Richie Cross Posted June 13, 2009 Posted June 13, 2009 Hi, I had the P7000s on my WRX when I got it and never liked them....especially in the wet. Now got the eagle asymmetric and really like them. Grip is better....especially in the wet!!! As for noise....not sure because of the exhaust but reckon they are quieter.

gus the bus Posted June 14, 2009 Posted June 14, 2009 Kumho for me! got them on the RA and had them on the last two scoobs. Very quiet and great in the dry and wet .......................and good value for money
scoob fae ork Posted June 14, 2009 Posted June 14, 2009 they dont like the wet do they i was not very happy way them me bro has just put eagles on his sti so i will see sounds like they are the dogs . cheers for the info mate Yeah have to say the Good Year eagle F1 Assimetric's are very good the car feels planted and the car does not pull about the road either and there pretty good in the wet too
buzzby Posted June 14, 2009 Posted June 14, 2009 Hi,i just put the Kumho`s on my 54 plate WRX in the same size and i cant fault them one bit,from price to performance they are really excellent!! Much better than previous Bridgestones Cheers
Frank_STI Posted June 15, 2009 Posted June 15, 2009 Had toyo's once and never again, tyre wall is too soft and wasn't impressed with the grip IMO. Currently using Dunlop SP Sport Maxx TT's and they are fantastic. More expensive, but worth it.

More expensive, but worth it. Maybe you didn't go for the extra load ones! I've had F1 and the tyres wall was way to soft for the track but was comfy for the road. Now i have the T1R extra load and they are fine on my 550bhp scoob
Frank_STI Posted June 15, 2009 Posted June 15, 2009 Whatever ones they were, the lack of grip and stability was scary
