Of all tyre brands ive tried the Toyo make has never made it onto any of my cars .
Some tempting prices on these new & wondered if anyone had experience on their Zs ?
Bearing in mind my car will not be tracked , raced or rallied, no need for winter use & not looking to break any land speed records :oops: but i do appreciate wet & dry grip plus competent in the bends :thumbsup:

Yes I have Andy I went for Kumho 39s. I wish I could run a 35 profile on the rear!! Let alone 265/35 they wouldn't turn in my arches!!
 
I have to run 255-30 and then I need a bit of extra camber arches rolling!! And it's the 30 profile that pushes the price up :thumbsdown:

Have you put some miles on or is the car in the paintshop?
Ihave 225 45 17 Kumhos on my van & really impressed how they work
Interesting to hear how they fayre on 19s
 
Not received them yet. I ordered them late Thursday. Should have them Monday been polishing up my wheels today. I was hoping to give them a quick respray but didn't find time!!

I have heard very good things about them. Fingers crossed I will be fitting them Monday as they need scrubbing in for my track day on Friday :driving: :thumbsup:
 
I've recently gone from 265/30/19 Falken 453's on the rear to Kumho KU39's and I'm really impressed. Ride is slightly improved and if anything there's a slight increase in grip - pretty pleased but have only done 250 miles on them. No increase in road noise and will be buying more of the KU39's when the fronts wear out! Great value for money so far but can't judge wear wise.
