Great tires! Just yesterday, I had to pull an evasive maneuver because of some young kid was too busy talking on the phone and looking at his passenger.

Before the encounter, there is a blind bend in the road. At the apex of the turn, I see a beat up Sentra with half his car in my lane, crossing over the yellow lines. I slam on my brakes and cut the wheel right then left to get back in my lane.

It did not feel like I lost control or was about to lose control. I was traveling about 38-41, but the roads are narrow in that part of town. Great tires!

Default Just got my Toyos today. I love them.

The car rides SO much quieter now. I haven't tested them out taking corners with no brakes yet. I'm not so big on the looks of them though. My Yoko sidewalls were better looking. Does anyone look at tire sidewalls much?

Really? I like how they look. Well, I all-season tires are Wanlis. They have a huge side wall.

Default I had my 1st emergency maneuver on Thursday!

This was the night before I got the new tires. I was goin' down the road with my mother in the passenger seat, and some woman on the opposite side of the road cut in front of me like my car was invisible. She GUNNED her car, and I SMASHED my brake pedal to the floor, and we missed each other by inches. I am now such a huge anti-lock brake fan. The tires didn't screech, and my car came to a stop in a perfectly straight line. It was incredible. We were so lucky too that no one was behind me, or my car would've been destroyed. Now I have my new tires, and I feel even safer!
