well GGG are the softs, I would say SG are probably even softer, like maybe a wet compound, or motokhana compound. ie, desinged to come up to temp very quickly.

i wouldn't worry about it too much, but if you were buying again I'd say go the G or GG.

Page 3 of this PDF goes into a bit of detail about the compounds and suitability.

Looks like SG is the softest compound. Should be suitable for a few hot laps at a time. Not ideal for hot track temps or too many laps without cool down.

they would be ok, but no where near as good as drag radials as the sidewalls of the toyos (like all circuit biased semi slicks) is soo stiff it doesn't give that great launch you can get with the drag radials.

hmm.....

I havent used mine yet - I got the ones from St George tyres

But I guess for my sort of usage - i.e. 'kharna's and few track days - Im not that quick on the pace nor do I go "that" hard - Im confident they'll be perfect for my useage

but of course, I'll keep you all updated when I finally get them on for a session or 11ty :)

Hey Guys,

Just thought I would stick my head in and mention that the Tyres being sold from Taleb Tyres were not sourced through Toyo Tyre and Rubber Australia.

The following is an abstract taken from an official bulletin released from Toyo Tyre and Rubber Australia.

"Toyo Tyre & Rubber Australia Limited has been importing very small quantities of Proxes R888 with the "GGG" compound, in the 195/55R15 size only, for specific users through Toyo motor sport tyre dealers. "GGG" compound tyres have only been provided to users after the motor sport tyre dealer & Tyre Technical Department have identified the using conditions as being suitable for this tread compound."

"Retailers and wholesalers of parallel import Proxes R888 tyres are not specialist Toyo motor sport tyre dealers and are therefore unlikely to have the knowledge to advise Toyo motor sport tyre dealers and are therefore unlikely to have the knowledge to advise end users regarding the product that is best suited to their application. Most importantly,it is unlikely that end users purchasing parallel import Proxes R888 tyres know the tread compound of the tyres they are purchasing. "GGG" & "SG" tread compound tyres are suitable for a very narrow range of using conditions. It is unlikely that end users purchasing parallel import Proxes R888 tyres with "GGG" & "SG" tread compounds will have tyres that are suitable for their using conditions, and therefore are likely to be disappointed with the performance of these tyres."

Not saying don't buy them guys, but be careful >_<

Cheers,

Dan.

    • Yes, I know🙄 but the sequential is not in my budget... don't want to reduce power neither, so looks like I'm stuck in the rabbit hole🤣
    • You’ll be very upset when you bust that too not to mention the gearing totally sucks. Don’t do it.
    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
