I won't be using them again. Indifferent grip and wear. Not actually bad, but just not quite good enough to justify going to the cheaper end of the spectrum. I wouldn't use them on my 90 - if I couldn't afford the proper rubber on that then I shouldn't have such an expensive car.

I can afford to fit whichever tyre brand I wanted thanks very much and I certainly don't skimp on maintenance.

The simple question was, had anyone any first hand experience of these PARTICULAR two tyres.

I am wanting some all terrain tyres on the XC90 and the Toyo's actually get very good reviews but first hand experience on the same vehicle as mine would be useful.
