Toyo Tire Links

[Suck fumes]

That's good to know! By the way I just got my tires in from you. I like your shave a lot better than some of the other vendors I have used. THANKS!

Color me not impressed. In order to maximize tire life, a tire will see time on all four corners of my car with a flip on the rim after each event or two. Limiting my options and trying to keep track of a small code on one sidewall sounds like a pain in the ass and a recipe for reduced tire life.

That was my reaction as well. What is Toyo doing differently from Hoosier, BFG, etc. in their seam formation? While this issue may be possible with another manufacturer, none of them seem to be getting much airplay about it. If you really have to jump through all these hoops with EVERY race tire out there, it's a pretty well kept secret around the paddock.

Same here... I think it outright sucks to have to do all this flipping of tires to make it NOT COME APART.

but but Phil said it was no big deal!?!?

race tires should be built better than that.

But they're faster right? Because that is so important in a spec tire series...

They are the same compound as the RA1. Or at least they drive the same as a 1/32 RA1. When you dig your nail into it it feels similar to a BFGoodrich R1 but it def isn't the same feel on the track as the R1. Not impressed and its def not any better than an RA1 in my opinion.

All the GOOD race tires are built like that...
