Falkens any day of the week. I really don't like the Toyo's personally.

I guess one of the mods could start a tyre poll if you ask them nicely ?

I've got falkens and found them to be great, no complaints, but I'll get toyo's next time as I want to compare.

I have Falkens on my Argenta and they are crap. Dimension 205/50-15 though. They won't be the FK-452's, as the FK-452 only come in 16" and upwards.

after 3 sets of f1's i tried the falkens, havent noticed any real loss in performance and i prefer the stiffer side walls of the falkens
the uni royal rainsports are supposed to be excellent tyres around similar price to the fl's and would be a worthy choice too

maybe its all in my head but with the falkens it doesnt seem to squirm around and flex in the corners feels firmer and more responsive with them on
all in my opinion ofcourse !!

I'm running now on Hankook's RS2 and they REALLY are the best dry tire I've tried until this very day.
More grippy than F1s though in wet conditions the Goodyear's are a best choice.
Silly cheap too!!!

I have Nankang NS-2 Ultrasports on my golf as they came with the wheels, they are good in the dry but atrocious in the wet. T1-Rs will be going on when i need new tyres, for the price they are the best. Eagle F1 GSD3's are the best wet weather tyre i have had, the wear much better than the toyos as well, not as much outright grip though. Uniroyal Rainsport 2's are average at best and not really worth the bother as they are the same price and tread style as the toyos but with an inferior compound. Imo

I used to use dunlop's on my focus rs it came with sp9000's, they were utter toot. I spoke to one of the engineers and he recommended 'rapid response' They were bloomin awesome for grip and life wasnt bad either. When I got the coop it had toyo's all round, wasn't disappointed though when i popped 2 falkens fk452's on the front was amazed at the difference the toughened up side wall made to handeling. Then again everyone's coop's different and people's personal tastes differ hugely. Neither toyo nor falken are bad tyres in my humble opinion.

Silly cheap too!!! Yep - they are great, but they are strictly speaking a track tyre with very stiff sidewalls.
