The Toyo is in a different class when it comes to grip, both wet and
dry. It does have a softer turn in, but also a significantly softer
ride. The turn-in issue goes away after about 30 minutes--most folks
simply adjust to it and move on. The Yoko will last a bit longer.

I think Leon has used both, but perhaps not in 14". I found very little
difference between 14" and 15" Toyos.
