Hi Everyone
I have been following this thread for awhile the last few month. I had finally made the jump from my OEM michelins to toyo last week as the supplies of michelins were a problem in our area.
I have to say the toyo were actually not bad tires. Regarding the noise, I can only hear the road noise when the windows are down but no noise with windows up. I think the noise will become louder as the tire wear out coz all V design tires will become louder no mater what. In terms of grip in dry condition, the michelins are slightly better but judging that have brought 2 tires for the price of just getting one michelins tire, I am quite happy. Haven't tried toyo in the wet yet, but I think it should perform just as good a michelin if not better as V shape tires are most likely better in the wet. Will post results later on.

I will try the Yokohama next time round too.

Thanks for everyone who left a feedback, it was very helpful.
