I can vouch for S-02s, used them before. Know nothing about Toyos, how are they?

thanks.... Advan Neova and Conti are super expensive... Advan still okay... i checked and the price is 590 per piece... for my size... as for sprots contact... wow... it's same price as Pirelli P-Zero Rossa... the ones used for lamborghini and porsche.

in the end.... i put in Toyo Proxes TR-1... priced at 460 per piece... reasonable... very good grip... very good in wet and quiet... plus comfortable... hope it's worth the money......
