Toyo R610

Bought to replace the now unavailable 165/60/13 size originally fitted to this car the Toyo R610 185/55/13 is the exact same rolling diameter and a plug and play replacement. While it's still early days for these tyres the performance so far has been most satisfactory. Plenty of grip is available both in the wet and dry. It's difficult to assess the tyre's ride as the suspension on the Metro is rather firm to start with but they are at least as good in that respect as the Goodyear Eagles they replaced. Steering is crisp and the turn in precise. Feedback is excellent and there is no doubt that these tyres are more than a match for the Metro's modest performance. While I have yet to see how the tyre's durability compares to previous tyres on the car, first impressions are that even if they wear faster the performance of the tyre is worth the hit in tyre life. Finally, if you are looking for replacement tyres for a Metro Turbo you have very little choice. Out of the options available, these tyres are light years better than the Chinese alternatives. I give them the thumbs up. Read more Collapse
