The other tyre I like the sound of is Toyo TR1, they apparently have a harder compound on the outside of the tyre to increase shoulder life. This is my biggest problem as the centre of the tyre still has 4-5mm of tread.Big AL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I am assuming you already know this and run correct tyre pressures. I have never heard of differnt compounds through the tyre itself, can someone please point me to some info so I may educate myself.Scotty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheap but I flog them around the track and they stick really well... Ive cornered as hard as I could and they dont really break traction under good track conditions.

Highest rated tyre on tirerack.com (check it out for excelent reviews) and even outrated the Eagle GS-D3 in the wet (which means they are amazing). No idea of price yet.

I run 40psi front and rear so I don't think they're under inflated.Big AL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
