im using about 30psi on mine, and they are useless!

wish i could afford to splash out on a nice set of Yokos... :)


I am running yoko A539's on mine and they are pants in the wet :D


might want to get those checked as i never had problems in the wet with mine, im not a gentle driver ether

like tomf said, i'd have the suspension geometry checked if you're having problems with them. I think that's why there's a differing opinion on them. My falkens are great in the wet.

Regardless of tyre wear and ressure, there is not such a great difference in grip between Falken ziex (they're not the fk 07!) and yokos a539.
I'd get suspension geometry checked.

The critical thing is the suspension settings.
You should set it up correctly, then drive within the limits of the tyres.
