I had this report almost ready to go when the site crashed so i held off. It seems to be reasonably stable at present so here goes. Sorry about the length. After all this, if you have a query about a particular tyre, please feel free to send me a pm and I'll do some digging and report back to you.

Toyo Teo Plus has silica tread and is non-directional. I like this tread pattern, especially the solid centre rib and tie bars linking the shoulder blocks together which should minimise noise.
Just a thought for today.............A good treaded tyre, no matter the brand, will pay you back in an instant in life threatening situations such as having to brake hard or steer the car at speed to miss objects in your path.My motto is to look after your tyres, whether they be cheap or expensive, as they will look after you.ps. Don't forget there is only 4 times 4 to 6 inches square between you and the road............
so the 2.5 degrees of camber im running on the maxima is doing it no good?
I've seen struts put in a press and bent slightly to gain a little neg camber.

I've straightend diff housings and (axles ) with a press,but never steering components.
17's!! 18's and up is where its all at man! i personally wouldnt put anything less than a 18'' on an i30 it will look silly and small or have too much sidewall
To me, I reckon the 16's on my SLX are a reasonable compromise between comfort, handling and looks....
