Will have to be Toyo's. Kumho's aren't bad though.

im gonna be different and say kumho. I used to have toyo, they performed well but didnt last long, ive now got Kumho ecsta tyres, they have been on for 3 years, handle really well in both wet and dry and they still have plenty of tread.

You've had the same set of Kumho's for 3 years?!?! Mine have lasted about 6 months and will need changing soon.

Depends what you do, Kuhmo's are generally a cheaper tyre and as a result, harder compound so last longer. Toyo's are softer and have better handling characteristics.

Eagles are the way forward tbh. Strong sidewalls compared to the competition aswell as epic all round grip

I have had both and to be honest with you i much prefer Kumhos. Its a difficult subject to ask a question about because everyone drives differently.. some people like absolute grip whilst others enjoy a bit of give... i personally think that tyres that are too soft are much more unpredictable as its hard to learn the limits of them, whereas with a harder compound you can learn to chuck the car into a corner at any speed and cope with it, so on that note i would choose the Kumhos, personally i think they are more fun
