For those of you who used both brands on the race track -
which ones did you like best? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smilie_flagge24.gif) Sorry - I'm not interested in what auto crossers think. I know Hoosiers are stickier, but they wear out to fast for me. I am open to other suggestions (available in 225-50-16 & 245-45-16). |

I will be trying the Toyo's when I wear out my Kuhmo's, I get about 4 track days at Streets of Willow out of a set. At $600+ a set, I'd like to get a bit more out of a set. The Kumhmo's do get real greasy when hot, like during July/August at Willow. I've even broke loose between turns 4-5, the sweeper before the double apex.
But you can do a really bitchin' 4-wheel drift on the skid pad in 3rd gear, full throttle, telling youself, rotate, rotate, rotate, yee haw. Later, Don |
