Not a bad tire, but not brilliant either. Includes a fairly soft compound, good on wet pavement, but doesn't like standing water. Handles well in the dry, however. Also wears fairly quickly. Not as good as Falken FK-452 or Goodyear Eagle F1 GSD3, for grip or handling precision.

I was fairly reacted with these tires assuming they have a good reputation. Grip on a wet road is mediocre, though dry grip is very good. The tires also didn't have a bite during sharp turn modules and wear quickly. Overall good tires, but not exceptional.

Not impressed with these tires. They grip well in the dry, but on a wet road I don't rate the grip at all. They also have low aquaplaning performance. They also make a fair bit of noise, and wear quickly. Max load crew power delights these tires, but I think they are very overrated. I won't buy again, as some budget tires work better.

Replaced my usual Pirelli Pzeros with two of them on the rear panel. Dry traction is easy, as good if not better. Wet road traction far outperforms Pzeros, and they continue to do so as they wear (which, admittedly, is not the case with Pirellis!). I'd say my original Yoko A03 years were grippier in the dry, but overall I think the Toyo's are slightly better tires I've had so far, mainly

Do not put these tires on a BMW 5-series. They lose traction on the front even at low speeds (60 km/h) when cornering, even in dry conditions. You get a lot of turnability out of it, at the point where it becomes hazardous. Do not buy if you want to drive fast. Next time I will buy Michelins again

Fast road tyre with great grip. Used daily on my road car and for a few days on track. On a warm day they will start to overheat (only on track), but very capable for fast road and occasional track days. Also used them on my MR2 Turbo. Great tyres, held their shape. Rear tyres lasted about 5000kms and that's good for 250bhp

The best tires Ive had, made me notice the difference right away after I put these tires on. Amazing in dry and wet conditions, saved my skin in a few close calls where I would have probably crashed otherwise, the grip helped me hold it together so far.

Excellent grip in the wet and dry when new. Gradually the power reduces as the tires wear out to a greater extent, on a wet road. It seems the connection becomes increasingly difficult as the tires wear out - to make them last longer. Now with 2 - 3 mm left on the inner tread, the grip on a wet road leaves much to be desired. The sides on a wet road are now terrifying, as the tread pattern on the outer edges of the tire is not as deep

To say the Escort are very average handling cars - these tires made a huge difference. They gave me tons more confidence in the corners and grip like glue, even on a wet road. The wear was as expected, and they have an excellent price to performance ratio. Highly recommended!

Very good tire performance value. Quite difficult sidewalls with good traction. Poor traction on muddy country alleys and useless in snow. Shifts a lot of water from the road surface though.
