Toyo Question


Recommended Posts

Posted

I'm doing a HPDE this weekend in my Miata and I am running a set of used Toyo RA-1's (from a Spec Miata guy) that have about 70% of their life left. My question is, my hotel is about 20 miles from the track, would it hurt the tires to just keep them on the car and drive to the hotel and back instead of changing the tires several times during the weekend?

Thanks

No, it won't hurt them. Toyos will be fine on the street for the drive to and from the track.

I run the RA-1s on my daily commute.

 

I get them full tread, drive them around until the next event (usually every 2-3 wks). I then rotate with another 6 rims/tires. The heat cycles won't matter that much as I only have about a 6 mile drive to work and back.

you'd be fine even on Hoosiers imho

 

Unless it's raining.

I used to mount a set of comp tires on my HPDE car in the spring when I first got started and would drive them all summer. TO and from the track, around town, etc. I had a daily driver so they didnt get driven daily, but I never noticed any difference.

 

I would waste time mounting/dismounting to go back to the hotel.
