Default Toyo Tires

Am planning to get rid of my run-flats. Anybody have experience with Toyos as replacements? They are about $1000 mounted, balanced, etc. in the Western US at Les Schwab Tires, Inc.

I never had anything but headachs with Les SCHAWB! after 5 years, I finely couldnt take it any more. Joker was tipicaly rude to the wife for no reason one time too many so I called the corperate headquarters and fired the big boss personally! True story the toyos arnt too bad however the goodyear (new compound) has impressed me more

Not running them on my Vette, but I have them on both my Land Rover and my BMW. Excellent tires, good wear and reasonably priced.
