Toyo Transas Cru:z

[Pezhead]

I just bought a set because my GTR wore the insides of my Yokohama's out to the cords. The rears were pretty well gone in the centre so was time anyways.

I got a good deal on these in 275 35 18 set of four for $920. I just wanted some street tread and didn't want to go for semis (I already have some track slicks).

The sales guy said he imports these from Japan so they really don't sell them here. Does anyone know anything 'bout these? I assume they are pretty hard and all. I'm not real concerned as I'm very mild mannered on the street. Just want to know more about these tyres.

Thanks.

they are general performance orientated really, kinda halfway between a tranpath and a tpg i suppose you could call it. I really like the tpg on skylines... good all round budget performer....

The cru:z is a bit average in the wet yeah from what ive been told? how do you find them? i liked the japanese TOYO VIMODE or the local TPG's the best, the proxes 4 are killer but the tPG offers less squirm.

Thanks. That was exactly what I was looking for. I expect it to be a budget performer at this price but wanted to get a feel for how much to expect from Toyo's if I move up the range.

I've only put 20 km's on this set and no wet weather driving yet. I'm also a very bad index as I don't push the car at all on the street and only do 14 km back and forth to work mostly.

Once I get a feel I'll post something in the tyres stickie thread. At a minimum I'll be taking the car to Power Cruise on these tyres so will get a performance feel then.
