just a tip, probably would have been better to get some opinions BEFORE you bought your tyres.

Hey mate

Firstly, this is in the wrong section, the tyre thread in Suspension, braking and tyres is the place for these questions.

I have had a set of these tyres, they are very average tyres for wet and dry use. They are ok for street use, nice and quiet and last ok but are not really a performance tyre, so you can use them at the track but they wont be any good, and you will probably destroy them very quickly.

ok cool stuff, is it just this grade of Toyo tires that suck? are there better versions of toyos that are really good? Let me know cos ive heard alot of good things about Toyo's.

we use and recommend Bridgestone RE55 tyres for serious circuit machines. lots of grip and durability, a set of these usually last about 10 months or about 160 laps.

They dont suck, they perform as they should for their intended purpose and price.. if you want a performance tyre, then they are the wrong ones....

There are good toyos but they cost more and have different compromises... T1Rs are a good performance street tyre and toyo make R compound tyres for track use too.

    • Let large companies that are making money off selling kits do the preliminary engineering for you. If they all do -10, then that is all you'll ever need. 
    • Hopefully it ends up being something manageable, like a hone, rather than a full bore—it would be a huge relief if it’s not as bad as it looks. Hang in there; these setbacks are annoying, but it sounds like you’re handling it as smartly as possible.
    • At the end of the day, it’s all about understanding the odds and being comfortable with the potential cost, whether it’s horsepower on a build or chips on a roulette table. And I have to say, the Laine example made me laugh—some people really do embrace that carefree, “roll and see” attitude!
    • Thanks MBS206, i got that PDF but got abit overhelm with all the connections and tracing of wires. I wasn't expecting to plug the dash harness anywhere. i was just going to use my electronics jumper wires to plug into the right pins like ECU power, ecu ground, ignition trigger etc... I do have a few ratchet straps locking it down tight. Fire extinguisher ready and only a small amount of fuel at a time, enough to submerge the pump.
    • Thanks GTSBoy, i will do abit more digging. I am missing a blue relay near the ECU connector... so i will chase that up in the next few days as well
