178£ for 4 205/40/17 will do me fine for my Dailey hack. Especially when some thing actually decent is over double that. I'm sorry mate but I'd put t1rs in the same category as the ns2.
Got budget and cheap, or if you want a decent tire it's conti or Michelin all the way
You're not defending a cheap and nasty tyre.... but you're saying they're quite ok for a car that you do lots of miles in throughout the year in all conditions. I just don't get the logic there.
Words fail me
As for Contis being better in the wet than the Toyos in the dry... Sorry mate but that's utter, clutching at straws crap. I ran back to back from Conti's to the Toyo. Dry weather grip the Toyo performed far better in the dry than the Contis. In the wet the Contis were better to a point that could be noticed
