But for what its worth, these tires are gonna be just as stable as a regular street tire just stickier. They have the same radial steel belted construction and stiff sidewalls, just alot better grip.

I love Toyo tires, some of the best bang for buck tires no matter which tire they produce, whether its for you race car or work truck, sold the **** out of their truck tires when I was a service writer.

I have the big tire debate going on now with my car. I had nitto 275 /17 on both my 96 z. 96z has mild mods 2800 stall and 3.42 gears and the nittos are crap cold ,decent warm and pretty good after a little burnout. Not as good at local track as et street radials.
Problem with nittos other than terrible when it gets colder out is nitto warns on site now that you can't run them lower than 32F. They say to take them off the car and store them in a warmer place if its under 32F and they have other little warnings about moving a car with them on when its cold ,etc. Bunch of crap .Pictures of some really cracked up ones.
So was thinking get the toyos. They are not r compound so no warning about the weather. They do have a big warning on the tq about how they can't be repaired ???WTF? This scares me as stick tires like this generally pick up every nail,screw ,etc on the street and get flats. It would be horrible to get a flat and have to throw away a pretty new toyo tq.
So no thinking not bother with them..they do have short life as well figure 5000 miles or so might be all a person would get out of them. So now thinking to just run street tires
like firestone ovals and get second set of rims with say et street radials for serious playing or track.
The toyos with bit more treadwear and abilty to repair them would make them a nice choice. Sounds like they work good just don't get any flats!
That warning is right on the info about the tq under maintenance or something.
The nitto warning is more hidden on the nitto site.Other toyo type r have think same warning as the nittos.I live up north and while don't drive right thru winter my cars do see under 32F in spring or fall.
