I hate that Toyo sponsors a lot of show cars and not a lot of track cars with their R888 and R888R tires. From a business standpoint it’s genius; they make a cool looking tire for cars that are made to look good and to hell with how it drives. But those tires are so incredible on the racetrack, yet they’re so crazy expensive and un-daily-able (?) with so few miles and so little grip in even light rain. I’d love to be sponsored by them and get R888’s for my future Miata track machine though..
Could you do Sumitomo? They own Falken, Dunlop and other brands. Would be interesting to see another huge Japanese tire brand with its claws in the drift community...
Sumitomo has the Japanese manfuacturing of Dunlop, while Goodyear controls the European and North American arm. Sorry, it's a licensing portion on the part of Sumitomo, but it'd still be interesting to look at Sumitomo.
When I was very young, I thought Toyo tires were tires made for Toyotas. Anyway, Pirelli tire is the video I look forward to most. They have some great prices on truck tires, but not many people realize it. They created an image of only making tires for really fast and expensive cars.
Those Proxes T1Rs grip really well in the rain. I have them in my Mazda2 DE, doing 160kph with the road looking more like a lake, never aquaplaned nor squirmed under heavy braking. Planning to install ATs on my new Mitsubishi Montero Sport soon. 😁
i have toyo T1R's and i like them a lot. they have very good grip , they look agressive and the road noise is really good so they get a thumb up from me
Just purchased 4 new toyo tires , First time trying the brand I look up all the different reviews I could find before purchasing all was good so I went ahead and purchased for my Honda Accord! Ride feel extremely good so far!
Please add Federal Tires to the list or budget tires in general. There has been a lot noise and its hard to discern facts from opinion. It could even be broken down by classes: grip/track, drift, street. Don't forget Conti. Forgot to say thanks for all the good info and informative content.
Bridgestone, specifically Potenza RE71R, 970AS, RE11, RE003, S04, S01, Driveguard runflats. The list goes on...def the premier brand out there and generally more affordable than some of these other specialty brands. Largest rubber company in the world, with some of the strictest quality controls. I know what I want on my car when my whole investment and life is riding on those 4 little contact patches.
I think the normal all season Toyo Tires are quite cheap in comparison to the competition. My dad has been buying Toyo Versado tires for the last couple of years and he's very pleased.
That r8 was the 24hr of thunderhill it was insane to look and hear. Was helping out at the team next to them with a crx. Their pit crew had it together cool to see it in this video
Been running falken tires ziex ze950 and I love them. All season, high thread life, Probably the best tire I've ever ran so far..... please do falken next.
Generic, but can you compare the Michelin Pilot Super sports to other UHP summer tires? I have 285/35/19 pilots for my rear yet I’ll be running as well as toyo t1 sports for my fronts in 255/35/19
