Ok, now that its come to the point where I need 4 new tyres and SO2s just can't be obtained, what are the going thoughts on the options available.

When SO3s came out there was a lots talk of them not being very good. Now that people have had them fitted for a while, what is the view ?

Also I've heard talk of one of the TOYO tyres being a better option. Any one know more ?

Cheers

Phil

I think the consensus is as follows:

Some people don't like them full stop.
Most people don't like them on 17" or 18" rims.
Most people don't like them for the first few (hundred?) miles until they bed in.
Most people with 15" or 16" rims find them fine after they've bedded in.

Edit - oh and if you've got standard rims on your Chim, I don't think you can get front tyres in ZR rating from Toyo.
