Toyo 350

theses are not bad tyres but just not suited to a small 1960/70s British sportscar like the MG Midget I have

I've had different models of Toyo tyres over many years so I know they can be very good as a make

the 350 seems to me to have a very upright sidewall which gives a harder ride in a small lightweight (very lightweight by modern standards) sportscar, I had to reduce the running tyre pressure (from the previous tyres) to prevent the ride being too hard

the handling in the dry is that they allow plenty of side movement but a bit too much too soon for my liking and take up too much of the roads when driving in a spirited manor - in the wet they're not as good as in the dry

they do have a progressive feel to them and do communicate what they're doing but their limits are far too easily reached for spirited driving of a lightweight sportscar

braking in the dry I've found to be good and progressive but I've not tried the heavy braking in the wet, I suspect they'd come good in the end but give you a worry before getting there

on another vehicle these could perhaps be more than reasonable tyres but I repeat again not on a small lightweight 1960/70s British sportscar like the MG Midget

The first thing I noticed when I got these tyres, was how much lighter the steering was.

My previous tyres were Diamondbacks, typical $49 bargain bin junk, I drove the car 500KM before putting them on the rear and getting new tyres for the front.

The vehicle I drive is a 1994 Ford Laser.

Grip: Dry grip is much better, with the diamondbacks in first gear there was more torque steer, and more likelyhood of getting wheelspin.
With the Toyo's it's definitely more of a challenge to get the wheels to spin.

Progressiveness: I haven't used them long enough to judge, I have experienced understeer, but only in full throttle while cornering situations.

Wet grip: In the wet they are brilliant, after changing from the diamondbacks I was convinced my car was down on power, but it just feels slower due to the better ride and increased grip.

Buy again: I'm not sure if I would, only because I'm yet to try other brands, I like the tyre, and I probably would choose it again, but curiosity means I'll try a different brand next time.

Road noise seems very low at 100-110KM/H.
