Good runs, I know that was a rush to take down that ride. Ive never heard of the toyo dr's. How do they match up to others, as far as traction and tread life?

Nice that is an awesome kill! 911 Turbos are seriously fast cars.

Excellent kill Grabber! 911 Turbos are def nasty rides. I got put in my place by one at the track once. He ran an 11.8 to my 12.7. Taught me a lesson first hand. Those Nittos ought to do you good. I've used them, not a bad tire at all and last longer than most DRs.

S8- This was around Woodfield Mall off of Meacham Road.


97- The Toyo's are called the Toyo RA-1's. They are designed for Road racing, but are made of the same compound as other DR's. They hook like nobodys business. My buddy cut 1.7 60fts on a 35 degree day. They are approx. 200 per tire, and for 17's, the biggest is a 275, which would be like a 285 Nitto. My 315 Nittos are not that much bigger surprisingly.

Thanks guys! I am definitely looking at my car a different way now.

Suddenly it all makes sense... haha

You're going to be smiling like a smuck for a few weeks after this one.
