Chris32 Posted May 3, 2004 Author Share Posted May 3, 2004 Thanks Chris32. I have a set of 17x7's with 235/45 SO3's on at home, more than welcome if you want to come up and put them on and go for a drive to see what you think They are have about 65% rubber left on them, and have a bit of cmaber wear etc, but they would give you a good judge on how they handle etc Better than spending $500+ dollars and finding out they are not what you like etc Chris Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/39558-toyo-trampio-tpg/page/2/#findComment-819498 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted May 3, 2004 Share Posted May 3, 2004 I might have to take you up on that:) what sort of pressure did you run in the Azenis? I just did some searching and read ( a couple of times) that you need to run the right pressure or the girp is not so spectacular? Also, do the S03s have stiff sidewalls? I want these to be pretty firm, to try and counter the understeer I have at the moment? If the Azenis a really crap i could always put them on the back and kill them:) Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/39558-toyo-trampio-tpg/page/2/#findComment-819591 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris32 Posted May 3, 2004 Author Share Posted May 3, 2004 I tried a lot of pressures in the Azenis, they seemed to work best at around 30-32psi. Anymore and they would tend to get a bit skatey under brakes. Grip was pretty good, but on the road they didn't have chance to get decent temperature into them, on the track once they were hot, they gripped well. One thing I didn't mention is that they were extremley noisy due to the tread pattern The SO3's have a really stiff sidewalls, probably the stiffest that I have seen other than RE540/RE55S when they where of the rim. Both Freebaggin and myslelf had a good look at this when we were looking for tyres, and they have really strong sidewalls. I think that is why they were a good match for the RE55S's on the back Let me know if you want to give mine a try, at least you will be able to compare them with what you have now Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/39558-toyo-trampio-tpg/page/2/#findComment-819620 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted May 3, 2004 Share Posted May 3, 2004 Well, I just found some RE55S in the new hard(er) compound - 235/45/17, $351 fitted, so it looks like I will go with those. I'm excited:D thanks for your help Chris. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/39558-toyo-trampio-tpg/page/2/#findComment-819699 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm excited:Dthanks for your help Chris. Awesome!, thats a heaps good price Steve, can I ask where you are getting them from? might get another set for the back of mine Apparently there was some type of replacemnt deal going on with the first series of RE55S due to the wrong compound, might see if they will swap mine Make sure they are hard compound, and you'll be laughing Bye Bye understeer Chris Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/39558-toyo-trampio-tpg/page/2/#findComment-819705 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted May 3, 2004 Share Posted May 3, 2004 Magill Bridgestone - 8332 0800, ask for Kim. Only dealer in Adelaide (so I was told). First thing he said when I asked if he sold them was 'we have them in stock and they are the new hard compound':) Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/39558-toyo-trampio-tpg/page/2/#findComment-819739 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Posted May 4, 2004 Share Posted May 4, 2004 Ah well, I will feel good that he probably made bugger all on the tyres then - really cheap price. Cheaper than the list on Falken Azenis RT215s!

Chris32 Posted May 4, 2004 Author Share Posted May 4, 2004 Good to hear you got them Steve Make sure they are nice and warm before you give them a bit, otherwise they might carve up a little bit if the rubber isn't up to temp Would be similar to the rears you have - when you hear the rocks/sticks/loose road flicking up all over your car, they are up to tmep Enjoy them, I have contacted Bridgetsone to see if they will offer any sort of replacemet and or huge discount as they sold me the really soft ones - will wait and see what comes of it Chris Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/39558-toyo-trampio-tpg/page/2/#findComment-823832 Share on other sites More sharing options...
franks Posted May 5, 2004 Share Posted May 5, 2004 excuse my laziness, but what's the difference between the trampio tpg's and the r1r's ? i've had my r1r's for 16,000km's and they are only just starting to get a little worn now. eg. i notice more wheel spin in 1st gear for instance. i have had 2 trackdays in them. they come highly recommended. i had them fitted and balanced at an average of $300 a corner. im running 255x35 and 235x45. id like to compare them to the azenis, however i think the azenis might be more of an rspec tyre than the r1r's....hence more grip, less wear....
