They came on the rims I got.

Would I of bought different tires?

Well, after driving with them for about 2 years, and after relizing they are alot louder when driving that other tires...............yes, I would of bought new tire for the rims........but those tire and rims where sold, so I don't need new tires anymore.

same tire im running, they are nice and sticky, but loud as hell on the highyway! I find they really bite into the pavement hard, wet weather i find they get abit firm and loose the bite, but overall im sastisfyed. Decent tread ware too, going on my 3 summer about 50% left, and i dont baby them thats forsure..lol

I love the look of them too

I wouldnt buy them again, just for experimental reasons...

i had the toyo's had them 2 seasons, never put a single chemical on them and the sidwalls were cracking, i don't think i had a combined total of even 10 000km on them. Friend has them too on a prelude

doesn't like them much either.. one of them just went flat on him and they couldn't figure out why, valve stem was ok.. blah blah..

I had the kuhmo ecesta's this season. love em

FZ4 sucks!! i used it a long time a got for about 2 weeks b4 i sold them! it's an all season tire that doesn't work in any weather! get the T1S if ur mind is set on Toyo! i'm on my third set of TOYO T1-S already! it's the best tires i've used! other tires i've used is the dunlop SP9000 , FM901, and yokohama A520, if ur looking for a budget summer tire the FM901 is a good choice, there's also the falken aventis sports is a good tire too! but if ur set to buy toyo their proxes 4 is starting to come out now! they already have some size in stock!

Tires I recommend buying for daily driven and little agressive on cornering(best bang for buck.):

1. Toyo T1-S
2. Falken Azenis
3. Goodyear F1s

4. Toyo RA-1 (if it on circuit mainly)

Your prolly gonna be hearing your tires screaming loud if you do hard cornering that is..LOL..

Whoops, another tire too add on the list is the Hanook Ventus K104s...overall not a bad tire..
