I have been running 245 / 16 Toyo on the rear for approx 4k miles and your standard size for non pas 15 inch Toyo's up front for the last 1k, moving from S02 PP's in both cases. I can't comment on Yoko's but the Toyo fronts are a speed rating confirmation for insurance ( shouldn't be an issue ).
I found my move to Toyo at the rear with S02 on the front hair raising - until I experimented with firmer pressures. This done, they worked ok with the SO2's. No such issue moving to Toyo for the front, again running firmer pressure. Whichever you choose, I would suggest matching front and rear. I did get it to work on rubber with quite different characteristics but I wouldn't go that way again.

I've put Toyo T1Rs on the Griff and am pleased with them. Same at front and rear except for the sizes being different of course - I've stayed with the normal sizes and as a result have V rated at one end and W rated at the other end of the car but insurer has been notified and is happy with no loading - there shouldn't really be any anyway as the original rating is Z (150mph+) with Vs being 149mph and Ws 168mph none of which you are likely to do legally anywhere.

I've got a set of nearly new Toyo Proxes T1Rs if you are interested. Tread not measured but look new and have certainly done less than 1000 miles. 205/55 15 and 245/45 16. Happy to sell if interested. Rob
Thanks Rob, won't be looking to buy tyres until after Xmas tho, still have to buy carpets etc for the house to appease her indoorsGassing Station | Griffith | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
