I will say they were very predictable the way they let go all the way thru though so I was very happy with them.(But wanted to buy the proxes next before ending up with the Kuhmos) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No idea about the toyos but they get a good wrap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found they would spin alittle but regain grip as torque reduced.Id go for the Pirelli's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
