they dont last long, quite a sticky compound. I like them, really good in the dry but not so good in the wet.

Not experienced them but I have had the previous incarnation; the A539 which were terrible in the wet. The S drive is a much better offering as a road tyre. But at £150 you could use them as cheap track tyres

i had them on when i first got my pulsar .. my mate got a set fitted to his 206 turbo didnt rate the either in fact ive just fitted a set of cheep black and rounds and he said they are better. i think for the road toyos or khumo r realy good;-)
Beg to differ on this, i had a set of prada spec2's on one of my previous cars i had come from running a set of toyo t1-s and felt that the prada's gripped better in the dry.
They are worlds away from the A539's which i found very dissapointing in both wet and dry conditions.
Currently got a set of yoko S-drive's on my pulsar and they seem half decent although not tested in the wet as of yet.
£150 sounds cheap for a set of four, i paid £52 per tyre in 195/45/15!

my own personal opinion is yoko's generally are pretty good in the dry but with high wear rates and road noise, absolute garbage in the wet but i haven't tried the parada's to comment, toyo t1s or t1r's are miles better than their prices suggest and i swear by them for a road tyre but everybody prefers different tyres so at that price prob best to find out for yourself what their like...

I find that once i get to 3 or 4 mm left on T1Rs. I get wheel wobble at 80mph. The ear dosent seem that bad and I am running paralell toe and only 1 deg of camber.

High Wear rates? Mine have done 21,000 miles (17inch, 205 width, 40 profile) and a track day and only because of sidewall cracking on the front drivers side am I needing to replace. Granted the fronts are about 1.8mm in tread and I have done a large part of miles on the motorway because its my daily driver but even still they have lasted me the entire 5 years I have owned my R (I put a new set on when I got it).
As others have said they are useless in the wet but I dont agree with the wear rate comments and as for the tyre noise comments, I wouldnt be able to comment as I can barely hear what a passenger says in my car, let alone a little tyre roar!
