chumpy36 Posted December 3, 2004 Share Posted December 3, 2004 Have any of you guys noticed higher wear rates for the toyo Ra-1 lately? If so, could you let me know. I'm specifically interested in the 205/50/r15 size. Thanks! JAson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrianZ Posted December 5, 2004 Share Posted December 5, 2004 are you talking about the tread wear making on the side of the tire? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chumpy36 Posted December 6, 2004 Author Share Posted December 6, 2004 nope, I know they changed the marking from 40 to 100 but what I'm wondering is if the tires are wearing out daster now than say a little earlier this year. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
civicrr Posted December 6, 2004 Share Posted December 6, 2004 We ran he 25 Hours of Thunderhill this weekend. Tire wear seemed normal to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chumpy36 Posted December 6, 2004 Author Share Posted December 6, 2004 Great. If possible could you get me the DOT number off the tires? Should start with CX36 and be on one side of the tire. Thanks very much! Jason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks I have spoken to Toyo about somthig like this. They say they have not changed the tire compound.. could you be going faster? I know during a sprint race I ware out tires faster than when I do HPDE's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chumpy36 Posted December 6, 2004 Author Share Posted December 6, 2004 I could be but it seems across the board that the wear rate has gone up. But I'm still looking into it. Just wondering if other folks were experiencing it. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ITAIntegraLS Posted December 6, 2004 Share Posted December 6, 2004 Yep 3 sets of tires Chewed up in 1 year of WCHC. But the year before i only used 2 sets. Weather Im going way faster than 2003 year or tire compunds have changed. I think im goin faster and tire compound hasnt changed at all.

snapturn Posted December 6, 2004 Share Posted December 6, 2004 Ron, I agree that you're going faster and you need to slow down so your tires last longer Derek Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
