Well its tyre time for me. Just started the usual research, but thought I would ask you guys as well.
It looks like the Yoko 07s are V popular, and even OEM on new cars. I have Bridgestones Front and rear.
Are the 07s any better, dealers seem to say so, but they have a reason to, as they are the only ones selling them.
Want a good all weather road tyre, nil track use.
Can they be mixed with Bridgestones on the front, and 07s on the rear. I've had conflicting stories so far. Obviously again dealers want to sell me a set of 4 at about 450-500, but really only the rears need changing at the moment. And I can get a set of rear Bridgestones for about 250!
come on guys, share those thoughts.

I just want to get driving

No. Not unless you want to have a ditch/hedge interface moment.

I've had both - prefer the AD07s.

Yup Yokohamas get my vote and had both too.
