Beer Baron Posted October 15, 2006 Share Posted October 15, 2006 i've used them in the GGG compound. not a bad tyre. very soft though, dont last long at all. but certainly as good as any of the other major semi slicks out there (RE55s etc).

Hungryhippo Posted October 15, 2006 Author Share Posted October 15, 2006 wow.2 track days.does that have anything to do with the power of the car spinning the wheels and tearing the tyres up or is that all just from cornering?

Beer Baron Posted October 15, 2006 Share Posted October 15, 2006 I would think they'd last a bit longer than that (they did for me). especially if you're using them on your K car. Like I said though they are very soft. I wouldn't use them for road driving if you are doing a lot of kms as they will just wear out without getting much fun. If it's just for track and the odd togue run then they will be sweet, just run some road tyres for the rest of the time.

Snowman Posted October 15, 2006 Share Posted October 15, 2006 The GGG compund are the super soft ones. The GG's (which are the main ones you can buy) are a lot harder and are in-line with the RE55 SR compund in terms of tyre wear. Which is to so in a reasonable car they should last a good 6 track days. I'm giving these Toyo's a test run shortly to finally get an answer as to how they compare to the others I've used (RE55's A048's and DZ02's).

Not long before I hit Osaka now. I just booked my Super GT tickets today for the final round at Fuji Speedway on 5/11. Can't wait.
