Hey guys, I just picked up a pair of these really cheap for the front of my car.. just wondering how good they r?

I want really good street/track wet/dry grip for the front end of my car...

just a tip, probably would have been better to get some opinions BEFORE you bought your tyres.

Hey mate

Firstly, this is in the wrong section, the tyre thread in Suspension, braking and tyres is the place for these questions.

I have had a set of these tyres, they are very average tyres for wet and dry use. They are ok for street use, nice and quiet and last ok but are not really a performance tyre, so you can use them at the track but they wont be any good, and you will probably destroy them very quickly.

ok cool stuff, is it just this grade of Toyo tires that suck? are there better versions of toyos that are really good? Let me know cos ive heard alot of good things about Toyo's.

we use and recommend Bridgestone RE55 tyres for serious circuit machines. lots of grip and durability, a set of these usually last about 10 months or about 160 laps.

They dont suck, they perform as they should for their intended purpose and price.. if you want a performance tyre, then they are the wrong ones....

There are good toyos but they cost more and have different compromises... T1Rs are a good performance street tyre and toyo make R compound tyres for track use too.

    • Unless you have big cams, there is no reason for an RB to idle at any more than the stock 650. No, it is not 850, 950, or anything else. It is 650. In fact, it might even be 550. I just opened an arbitrary stock Neo file in Nistune, and this is what I see
    • I love the undertray, especially the flappy bit for easier access for serving I'm thinking of fabing up one at work for the MX5 while I still have access to the metal shop at work with a guillotine and press brake Whilst removing the plastic undertray on the MX5 isn't to hard, I love the idea of a 2 bolt flap as opposed to removing the whole thing 
    • Great thank you for that. Yeah that is the bumper and spoiler it still has i just hadn't heard of it being referred to as a aero form bumper before. Really appreciate your help.
    • A little progress; I took the opportunity of an oil change to take a sample for oil analysis, will be interesting to see how it was treated for its first 125,000klm (I know how it has been treated since :rofl:) I went with 5w40 and will see what that does for oil pressure at higher revs. Also fitted the Z1 front undertray....a little more sturdy than the plastic factory one (although I suspect it won't stop a tree stump ) Nicest thing about it really is the 2 bolt "service panel"....a gift to the oil changer compared to removing 14 bolts holding the factory tray.
    • I think a scissor lift is better/faster in most cases, but I guess it does obstruct access to the centre of the car? BTW I weighed the quick jack. 3.5 tonne model is 50kg for each side. So yes, portable, but not with one finger
