General I need new tyres!

how has this affected the speedo readings across the speed range, is it now spot on or does it under read at all. With the 45's I over read by about 3 to 4 mph from 30 to 70.
And are there any insurance implications of changing the size, is this something an insurance company would expect to be told about?

Obviously, a direct comparison is impossible, due to the Goodyears being down to 2mm. However, the harshness has gone when hitting potholes or driving over speedbumps. Dry grip is great and having a slightly taller sidewall means that the alloys have additional protection when my students are pulling over at the kerbside! The arches are also filled a little more which improves things visually, I think?

I agree with this, the ride is a lot better and little potholes don't become a teeth shattering abyss.

I had the TomTom on and the speed on that said 40mph and on the dash it was on 40mph. When I hit 70 on the TomTom it was just over the 70 on the dash

Very impressed with the Toyo's so far, had a few frosty mornings and a wet day today. The Toyo's performed a lot better than the Goodyear F1's IMO.

Don't forget though, new tyres always feel better than old tyres that are nearing the end of their life, so the improvement might not be as significant as you might think.

Just for the hard-of-reading
