    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.

    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...

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

    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

    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...

    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.

    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.
