OK .

Not much point doing just the rears as all you'll see is wear on those in the dry and lose it in the wet .Fronts will be saying one thing and rears doing something else .
You really need to fit them up front as well .

Lee,
I had given it some thought, about changing the fronts, but the Goodyears are hardly worn at all. Also, I dont tend to take it out any more when it's raining. Bit of a fair weather driver I'm afraid !! And I realise you need to pay these types of tyres a little bit of respect in the wet.

I take your point that the fronts should match up with the rears. Currently have full width Yoko's on the back which I understood to be as grippy as the Toyo's. So my main aim was to use the Toyos to preserve the life of the Yokos.

In saying all of this, I do have a pair of front alloys which I'd like to get refurb'd , so may end up putting Toyos on them.
