I'm guessing that all the Toyos here are the R1R? If so I can't find them for less than $520 per set shipped.

STS was actually Toyos in 1st through 4th and 6th. Neal's listed tire is incorrect. And in 15" the toyos you want are the 195's.

$437.39 shipped from onlinetires.com

I am contemplating Toyos for my next tire. I just did not like the wear of the 225s that we previously had. We'll see...

I really like the Ventus R-S3

Every toyo I've ever owned has worn incredibly fast (4 different cars, all different tire flavors).

I chose cheese. I can't say I have a favorite AX tire. Ken and Iain have yet to teach me how to AX.....

You gotta show up before we can teach you! :wink:

Hope the kiddo is doing well, Alan!

Just ordered a set of AD08s! Despite the higher price compared to RE-11, I picked them because I believe they are better dual purpose (track/autocross).

So which is the RE-11 better for?

<-- does way more track than A/X and is tempted by the deal mentioned by sammm

The latest Grassrootsmotorsports magazine teases with this shown at the Tokyo Auto Show: Link

I read a post by Andy Hollis about RE-11 does not handle heat very well. It might or might not be a problem for you on track tho.

The Kumho XS seems to like heat, so that might be a good track tire?

Like others have said, they are all great tires just have different strengths and weaknesses.

I'm coming from old 615 Azenis and haven't had any issues. But I *am* interested in more sidewall compliance, so would be interested to see a list ordered by squishiness...

toyo = soft widewall and wallowy turns IMO.

Felt the same on my Scion tC (Proxes 4), RX400h (heavy, AWD, can't remember which toyos they were) and Xterra (heavy, AWD, I guess there's a trend lol).

I see you have a history of poorly chosen track cars. ::Banana::

That makes a screaming deal on the 205/50/15 RE-11!

Four Re11s on the way for $332 shipped after rebate!!! I was wondering what to get the boy for graduation. The rebate card should do it if it shows up in time. He'll sure be disappointed if it doesn't.
