    Had them on the old T4 and best tyre I have had. Rated Toyos tops until I tried the yokos. I was getting 215/40/17's for £90 each, fitted and balanced. Recommended.

    Have you tried 215/45/17s? The Rs ride quite well with these whilst also giving really good grip all round. Get some Goodyears or Michelins and be done with it
