Reply With QuoteSTS 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.
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.Originally Posted by altiain

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
1992 with JR intake and RB header
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!
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).Says the guy with the 3400 lb AWD car!

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