N13CAH Posted May 16, 2005 Report Share Posted May 16, 2005 205/45/15 is the gti size.Toyo's are the only other ones that come in this size.I've had a set for about 3 months now and they grip really well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tdwindustries Posted May 16, 2005 Report Share Posted May 16, 2005 Disagree with 'not as bad as some say' !! For normal road conditions the Dunlops are awful, very poor grip and dont last very long if you abuse them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tdwindustries Posted May 16, 2005 Report Share Posted May 16, 2005 mytyres.net ! 49 quid I think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baj Posted May 16, 2005 Report Share Posted May 16, 2005 I've had my Toyo's about a month now and would definately recommend them. I think there a bit softer than the Duflops tho, im not expecting them to last too long ... although maybe its because im giving it more hoof now as a resulthttp://www.mytyres.co.uk - although there not currently listed, they were about £49 each a month or so ago, maybe call them to see if they can get more.http://www.blackcircles.com - also used to have them, but again there no longer listed, they were however about £80 a corner from there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
