On the next euroford cruise I will drive like I always drive on the cruises. If people go faster or slower thats their choice.

All the reviews I read seem to rate the tyre highly and think its one of the best tyres from the company so far. I payed 210$ for the yoko's awhile ago and recently priced them up again at 235$ from the same place :( and the falkens were 195$. I orginaly wanted to get either toyo t1-r's or proxie 4's but toyo were having trouble get any size 17" or 18" tyres shipments. Was 160+$ for the proxie 4's but over a 2 week wait for the ship to unload etc. Not sure if it would be the same now or not. |

I like the A.drives very much. Only downside I have with them is my car is lowered with big rims and they are quite hard over some bumps compaired to the falkens. If the price was the same as last time I would of gotten a second set.

If you want the best tyres don't shop by brand. Bridgestone make good tyres and they make poor tyres, Yokohama make good tyres and they make poor tyres. You shouldn't judge the quality of a product simply because of the brand as each one offer a wide variety of products from low cost econo tyres to high price performance rubber.
Generally you get what you pay for but just because something is more expensive doesn't mean its better. Maxxis tyres are a good example of this. http://www.maxxis.com/products/news_article.asp?id=1557 |

I didn't say that 'Expensive' brands only make good tyres. But to be honest, I've never heard of anyone say anything wrong about the Contis or Michelins.

i got proxie 4s , very good tyre for what they are , going back to the sports tyres just because it says sports on the tyre means its sports, thats just for marketing , proper sports tyres come down to what sorta compound and construction there made of
