I've had Toyo's on some of my cars and was never impressed.
PS4 SUV have £50 off a set of 4 at Camskill just now, making them £133.20 each. Seems like a decent price. I'd just go for them personally in that size.

I don't find the T005 to have much real grip in wet conditions, however I did go down from Eagle f1s so perhaps perspective is skewed.
Yep I fully agree they are great tyres its going to have to be an amazing tyre to make me swap these for another type!
Probably no if their engineer proves the tyres are worn its your responsibility to ensure they have enough tread.
I find they work well on my truck - driving appropriately in wet conditions they haven't let go yet and feel much better than anything I've used before while in the same conditions I see other people struggling whether driving appropriately or not. Where I'm less impressed with them in actual dry conditions where it is dusty dry I find them vague and a bit heavy feeling.
Good find, thanks. Annoying it isn't the £100 I saw last month at Costco.
I'll have a browse around and see what I find.
I'm abroad with work but the Mrs is booked in at Costco to fit some Goodyear Vector 4 Season G3 to the Berlingo skip. Rude not to at £50 each fitted for the R14 steel rims and looking forward to the improved drive compared to the worn Hifly tyres on there now

Yes. There were some cracking prices last month at Costco. I picked up a set of 4 PS4S's in 20" guise for my Caravelle for under £430 fitted. Amazing price. Basically half the price of anywhere else. Then there was a week or so where they had money off every brand, rather than the Goodyear one month, Michelin the next, etc...

They look like really good tyres those Vector 4 Seasons Gen 3's.

This x 100000!! When I bought my car recently it had mixed tyre types which I just accepted I would change ASAP. Glad I did as the mixed tyres (only 1 was different) were very dangerous in cornering especially
it would not hold the road I had to keep fighting the steering & in the wet it felt even worse. Around town it was ok but as soon as you get out onto A roads & M ways its a very dangerous combination so make sure you always have the same matched tyres for the ultimate safety factor.Soon as I got the 4 new matched tyres it felt like a different car & road handling was a delight, tyre noise was a lot lower & it felt safe to drive!
Bridgestone all round but had to buy 2 front ones at the start of the year because of uneven wear. Going to buy 4 continental all season contacts. Appear to get the best write up.
Having checked the rears on the car and seeing I can get 2 fitted for £160 just ordered some for fitting Thursday.
Considering these are premium tyres I have no idea why anyone would pick the £65 budget options when premium can be had for very little more.
Enjoy they are GREAT tyres
I assume by type of tyre he means winter/summer as you shouldn't have two of each on a car.
Mixing brand/model is usually fine as long as they are in pairs* and are all summer or all winter. Unless it is AWD in which case you aren't meant to mix brand/model either.
Generally the weather in the UK isn't bad enough to warrant having winter tyres, but depending on where you live in Scotland, that might be different for you!
*Assuming they are similarly capable tyres. Don't go putting a pair of Pilot Sport 4S' on the front and a pair of LingLong GreenMax's on the back unless its a drift car.

Got a full set of Avon ZV7 from National. Paid for the insurance on the tyre as the other half always manages to damage them 
yep after a weeks fitted. Didn't realise you could do that. Only £70 per corner fitted so wasn't sure it was worth paying for.

Poor driving position, she uses my seat position so is far too low and a damaged curb 'sticking out' hit the corner attempting to park.
