Offft, £150 a corner!

I had some Conti Contact 2's on my slammed Punto (155/65/13). They lasted a very long time but I got alot of tyre squeal. If i'm honest I wouldn't have them again.

So why are Toyo's over rated?

Not sure how any one can answer this question lol, thy just are mainly on this forum like ashley said.

I think its because theyre cheap and alot of first time drivers on here, so they want cheap, and as these are the only tyres they have used they think theyre good as they dont have anything to compare them to.

Ive always said theyre shit in comparison to what else is available, currently got 2 on my integra and reminded me how shit they are.

Rainsports 2s I recommend, also Eagle F1s, VERY similar to the Rainsport 2s although the F1s dont last long at all, even less than T1Rs, also cost twice as much.

Continental Sport contacts last forever and provide good test results, so more down to whether you like them or not, theyre a good tyre.

Avoid Parada spec 2's they over heat far too easily, shit in the wet, wear out more than eagle F1s, very very soft sidewalls resulting in worn shoulders and melted shoulders.

Its kind of funny each forum has its band wagon tyre.

Probs because your slammed punto was a shitter, not the tyres lol.

contisports have been winning awards left right and centre, and are consistantly in the top 3 of respectable tyre comparison tests.

bigger, wider, wheels than a saxo. plus probably decent tyres, and probably price including fitting too.

either that or someones pulled his pants down for average rubber
