Toyo v Yokohama. Help!?!

I need some help in deciding which tyres to put on my MCS. Can't decide on either Toyo
T1-Rs or Yokohama A539s. I have only had my car a month and have had two punctures in the same tyre!!! Currently running Vredestein Ultracs ( Not my choice, fitted by previous owner), 205/45 R17. Priced up the Toyo's at £81 + VAT, Yokohamas £72 + VAT (Both prices include fitting). Or if anyone else has a recomendations on what I could fit? Cheers Adam.

To answer your question i would choose the Yokohama tyre .

But can i ask what you don't like about the Vredestein Ultracs, other than the 2 puncture's which could have happened to any tyre ?.

Its not that I don't like the Ultracs (Although I have nothing to compare them too) Its just the person who fixed the puctures discovered about 8 very small leaks, a fault he said from the production of them. This has kinda put me off putting another Vredestein on the car.
