I was looking at these yesterday, they're pretty cheap which made me question how good they are. Let us know!

My car is mostly stock. Just a CB and FIPK. With the Toyos it dead hooks in second and hooks pretty damn well in 1st as well. I haven't tried any hard launches yet. My car never sees rain. I won't be able to tell you how the Toyos do in the wet unless I happen to get caught by a passing shower or something. I'll post results if I ever do. I did add a 1/4" spacer temporarily to fit these monsters. I ground down the IRS bolt as low as I felt comfortable with and it was really close (about a credit card's width) so rather than take a chance I slapped on a set of 1/4" spacers I had laying around. I think if I order a set of button head IRS bolts I might pick up a smidge more clearance. I'll pull off the spacers when I do that. I was trying to stay away from the button head bolts due to the extraction troubles others have posted about. I may have to go that route after all. Thanks for the compliments!

I almost bought these tires for my car, but on toyo's site it say Traction and temp were rated a B. So i went with the 18/35-305 Nitto 555R instead since i knew they were great tires and would last a while. Plus my freind owns a tire shop and i got the nitto's for 30 bucks more than the toyo's.
