Thanks vag-hag Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Leonard 0 Posted October 15, 2009 Yoko's and Toyos are better than your usual rubbish. But you cannot beat a nice Bridgestone, Goodyear or personal fave Michelin Pilot Sport. Trouble is you have to pay proper money for them! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
