Dry Warm summer days brought out the best in the tire, but during a sudden T-storm, I almost bit the dust when the tires just let go all of a sudden, there was no warning that the tire was gonna give way in the corner, usually I get vibrations in the steering wheel before it lets go, but this time the kumhos let go all at once, had there been a car in the next lane of the entrance ramp I would've easily gotten into an accident. I've taken the same turn w/ my Toyos, and I get excellent feedback, and they don't slip that much in the rain. During competition I swapped between another set of 17s one with Toyo T1S Tires and Nitto NT555, and w/o a doubt no wonder SpeedVision cup cars in Street Car Class use T1S.
This year STR w/ Toyo RA1s.
