ive got yoko 539's on the back and falkens on the front. i had some toyos proxes on my fezzie 2i they were really sticky but wore out fast as hell. i find the new falkens have a good balance of grip and wear.

The Goodyear F1's do get a good name!

Am running Toyo Proxes at the moment and am perfectly happy with the grip that they give, think I will be sticking with them!
