If you asking me about the Toyo T1R I bought them 250 Euros with installation including it this price.
The Bridgestones if I remember well cost me around 270 Euros

A few days ago I purchased some new tyres sized 185/55/14 to replace my old yokohamas s-drive which had 60.000km on. I bought the Nokian H a brand from Finland which seem to go pretty well in various tests.

And here you can see how they are going in various tests

After some time I will write a nice review for them, but i have the impression that they feel good! ;)

Hey I just noted one item missing two posts above, it's the production date stamp. Usually being 4 numbers, 2 for week and 2 for year. Sometimes it's six, I guess 2 week, 2 week, 2 year. Double week coding for period over which tire was fabricated?

I watch a lot of people use the S-Drive. I, too, for 3 years. I like these tires. are soft. good brakes. easily operate the machine. if they were the same tires for the winter, I would be very happy)

No problem man!
As for the s-drives, their strong point is that they have very strong sidewalls, but in the rain they do nothing..
