I have been in touch with the brilliant people at Toyo and because I have one Malaysian spec proxes with three Japanese spec, they have offered to supply and fit four new tyres free of charge :-)
If anyone is interested in the originals just let me know. They have all done less than 1800 miles and are in very good condition. No payment needed but you will have to collect

Are the Japs rears or fronts? I wouldn't mind them for Andy's TF if you're looking for a free home for them? We've got repair bills for all 3 TFs at the mo, but know his needs tyres asap for the MOT, but we'd look to replace them afterwards depending on how he found the handling. I don't mind admitting his driving is more confident than mine and his mileage much less, so he could possibly handle how they feel on his car.. he's gor 4 mixed budget brands on there at the mo!
Toyo replaced all 4 of my tyres a few months back after I contacted them with handling problems when I replaced my rear tyres, turned out the TF really doesn't like th emix of jap front and Malasian rears. There are still people having problems with all 4 Malasian tyres though (me included) so just be aware that they're still looking into the issue. I'm waiting to hear back from Alan Meaker at Toyo again in relation to my handling issues with the 4 tyres they supplied.
So unfortunately, what they thought was a cure (ie. all malasian tyres), may not be a complet cure after all.
My handling is much better on all 4 Malasians, but it's still not what it used to be with the older compound, and I think this compound change is what they're looking into again at the moment.

Both front and one rear are Japanese spec.. Comments noted about Malaysian compound but not much choice as that's all they got :-( I haven't got major issues so hope doesn't get worse. I'll let you know when they arrive, I'm not too far from you Aberdare Still hoping to make PoL, will be great to meet you and Andy
