Do you drive it in the rain????

Had them on my Stage 1 Sapphire and they were VERY dangerous in the wet. Good in the dry though

must admit i havnt tried this particular yoko, however i have tried every other over the years from 509 onwards and they where all crap so i cant see them changing the habits of a lifetime.

i will only put eagle f1s on now good in the dry good in the wet.

Got them on the Audi and have no complaints at all about them. Had them on the 2i as well and had no issues at all there.

Use Parada's on the RS and again have no problems, in all fairness the RS doesn't get used in the wet though

The A539s are not very good on track either, as the tread design with the large blocks mean that they heat up excessively and move around, giving the car a very "loose" feel.

The Paradas are very good .

try P Zero Neros. Here in Athens on our shitty slippery roads with or with out rain they operate extremely good...

if u want something more hardcore try P Zero Corsas but they suck if it rains...

A539's are great on the road wet or dry (4x4) and are durable,they dont exactly cost the earth either!
Yokos are my fav tyre wouldnt really go for anything else at the price.
The Toyo R888 are a good road/track tyre.

I wouldn't use them if I had a choice.

They're best of a bad bunch so I don't have a choice - 165-60-12 (non-ford though!)
