Just had another day on the skidpan in my 86 with its new tyres. Huge difference - turn-in is far sharper and the back steps out more progressively. I was worried the slightly grippier tyres would detract from the car's tail-happy nature but I can safely say it has improved the on-the-limit control nicely. Grip under braking also is improved with less ABS interference noticed.
So my verdict - Yokohama AVS dB V550C's are good on my Std 86! Their lifespan has yet to be discovered!
After nearly 2.5 years and 53000+ km I still love my car!
