Going to have to splash some cash on new rubber for the back. The fronts have fairly new Toyos whereas the backs which are on the limit are Bridestone Potenzas.

Are Toyos the favoured tread? if so what version would you recommend.

Cheers

I've just gone for a new set of boots all round - Toyo T1S - bought from here:

Fitted by Silverstone Performance (car was there for a service).

I notice someone else on eBay is now doing the tyre for the same price but also with free shipping.

Yes I have just put these puppies on the rear of my motor, No more unintentional slipping. Sticks like sh*t to a blanket! (T1-R).

From my reasearch these were the best tyres for the tuscan rear with a rating of 4.5 out of 5. However my tyre guy was trying to flog me something else dunlops or something as he does not rate the Toyo?

Like i said it appears from the info I read, these are the best for the car! So there on. Cost me a lot more then £85 quid though, £145. each.
