The P6000 worked miracles on a Puma I had (don't even think about it; it was a great car  s:P :P s:P  ).  It just proves the obvious, I guess.  You can't put any tyre on any car...

anyone care to comment on the relative performance of the Toyo's compared to a 'Premium' brand, e.g. Michelin's or Good Year's? For the relatively small difference in price I would be happy pay the extra if they offer better grip/handling characteristics than the Toyo's but maybe they don't????

AFAIAA thats about it - the downside is they may not last as long, but since they are cheaper...........

My daughter has just bought a Puma, with 3 Avons and a single P6000 on the rear. All of them have plenty of life!

Debating what to do. Guess on the rear not to bad, but still 2 different makes on the one axle???

Unfortunately I know that if I suggest she changes....who is going to have to pay for it!

Apologies for the delayed reply roger.  I do not have any experience on the Puma with Avons but the car handled amazingly with the P6000.  I saw no reason to change them.

On the MR2 is a different story.  I would have changed them already if I wasn't moving house.
