Ok, im not one for claiming my new spoiler gave me an extra 50 bhp or my new boost gauge improved my o-60 etc... 
However, I had Toyo proxes fitted on my 18's and they are unreal in the wet. I gave it some "serious" abuse tonight and they really stick! Accellerating round roundabouts, fairly hard and it didn't step out. Also hit a giant puddle on the M27 (didn't see it coming) and sailed straight through...
Had Falkens previously and compared to these they were useless...
Probably been said before...

I don't like my Toyos, I preferred the old SO2s I had. I don't think the Toyos grip in the wet is as good. In the dry they are fine, only running on 17"s though...

Mark!mark!mark! still modding huh:-)
Good choice of rubber, I now run YOKO AVS 225 35 18 very pleased, did not have a choice as they came with the wheels, I do pref them to Toyo & So's however I will be going back to Toyo subject to the prices of the YOKO's.
See you around

I've just changed from SO2's to Toyos.
The Toyos seem good, but not quite as good as the SO2's were.
Mind you, I've probably not done enough mileage on them yet, so they're probably not fully "run in".
