Looking forward to shaving abilities being a non issue when the "RR" comes to our series. Have a wholesale account thru tire rack with my company. Heard some horror stories about shave jobs through TR.

Hey Mike, a lot of people here use Phil's.....just a plug :)
Don't get your hopes up about the Toyo RR. A lot of us spec Miata guys have been testing them and numerous sets have started cracking in the middle of the tread after the 6-8th heat cycle! Not to many positives posted about it on the Mazda forum. Toyo needs to revamp their design and solve this problem.
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.
