My Nova's Rebirth

[Benn]

I have never had a problem with them and have had them on about 4 cars in the past, IMO the only problem people have with genuinely bonafide performance in the tyres are because they are driving beyond their capabilities for the conditions.

If you wish to buy a set of A539's you can happily swap for the Hero tyres on my mums, they really are ditch finders! lmao

good good,
did a quick search on them before i orderd,and didnt find anything bad,

[wayne451]

wayne you had these yokos on your corsa and your r5 aswell (the true ditch finder lmao)???

I had a set on my old GSI (green one) and I had a pair on my old R5GTT which had A539's on the front and a510's on the rear. I also have a pair on my current Corsa but am not including those as I aint driven it yet.

IMO the only downside to the is that they are asymmetrical ie. not directional whereas say a Toyo Proxe TR1S is, so probably isn't as 'engineered' as it could be.

had them on my gte last year. Couldnt put the power down in 1st/2nd or 3rd in the wet. And when i did trackdays in the rain they just went straight on. useless IMO

[wayne451]

Same as my opinion of driving like a muppet in the wet, yes your latter part excludes you from that but my interpetation of 1st/2nd/3rd etc implies road use.

They are tyres, some are better than others granted but they don't have magical powers against elements which reduce grip, even Aladdin on his magic carpet would slow down in the wet - it's common sense.

I had a539s on my nova for years and tbh wouldn't recommend them to anyone.

[Benn]

Now you tell me simps...

yeah yeah sure i'd keep up with you....

*when you had boost probs*

nice1 benn

cheers dude...

[lewist123]

Had 539's on my old clio... great in the dry, but slidy in the wet, but then i suppose compromises must be made... can't have a tyre that brillient in the wet AND in the dry!

They are reasonably priced (if you have a fairly standard sized wheel) and work fairly well...

[Benn]

yeah my old toyos where great in both...but have got way to over priced to buy now...

[Novalicious]
