What are the Toyo's like compared to other tyres you have used? I understand they are more a track day based tyre so do they take a while to get up to temp and are they any good in wet conditions?
Oh and nice car btw!
Previously I have used, Pilot Exaltos and some absolute cheap SH1T ( I was made redundant and got a shard of glass in one of my fronts and the other was leaking).
The Pilot Exaltos I found were pretty awesome tbh but they seemed to understeer on the edge and squeel.
The cheap s**t scared the s**t out of me in the wet, they seriously didn't go round corners at all in the wet, and in the dry they were barely any better.
The R1Rs have been amazing so far, they take no time at all to warm up to be honest and in the wet they grip really really well.
They are quieter than the exaltos (Yes I was confused), made the car feel much more stable. The car feels so planted when going fast gives so much confidence. The only negative i've found so far is that under hard braking the rear squirms on the tread blocks I think, but as people have said before on other forums all they need is to have the tread worn down a bit. Also they have totally shown up my pretty standard suspension setup, need some coilovers
Also when accelerating from standstill, they grip soooo much, don't think I've got wheel spin at all since I've had them!
Tyre wear - They are soft, REALLY soft, however I've had them 4 weeks, the rears still have the injection moulding nipple things on them. On the front the tread blocks are rounding off. I think this is normal? Bit scary though because bits of rubber fall off the tread block edges like a pencil rubber. The tread depth however doesn't seemed to have changed at all, and I drive pretty hard quite often
Thanks for all the replies guys, made me really want to get out there and clean the girl!
