Tyre choice for 13'' rims

Hi Guys..
Started driving on Yoko A021r's October but with crap weather and winter only really been driving maybe 5 months..
The rear are getting low - the wear on these soft tyres is pretty quick - and going down fast ..
I was looking at a set of Toyo 350 185/70 (link)
The price (£50) and wear aspects for dry road use look good.. (no track yet)
Any comments suggestions appreciated
Cheers
Jon

Those Toyo's would be great... on a 850cc Panda. Thay'll be ditch-finders on your's.

Medium compound 888's or 048's will last longer than the 021's. Loads of grip in the dry; Just be carefull in the wet.

There are around 32 billion past thread on this topic, but I am running A539's on mine at the moment, which are cost effective and provide good grip, while still being a last 1A tyre which I require for autotesting.

I have r1r on mine they are superb. Even in the wet they are very good. I have to be really driving like a tit to unstick them.

R1R are not available in 13". Other possibles are Avon CR500 or ZZR and Kumho V70 (make sure you get the right compund).

Can get Yoko A021's for 65 quid each so will probably end up fitting them again...
