Question Toyo Tires?

Now that these tires have been out for a while, has anyone got comments, good or evil?

Well, you can beat $202 a tire with $200 a tire, which is what I paid for my Toyos. I've got 5K on the Toyos now, and overall I've been pleased with them. Compared to the F1's I've found a little less road noise, lot less wandering, slightly better dry traction, and significantly better wet traction. Besides, I've run my best ET on the Toyos.

Just checked Treadeopt.com and the price for the Toyo is $210 each. So, $32 difference a set between them and the Goodyear. Looks like monet well spent.

I talked to a 99' L owner and he said they lasted longer and seemed to grip better and good hydro resistance. He also said they were cheaper? I don't know how you can beat 202 a tire..
