New 315 drag radial

[cobraj]

According to toyos site they are specifically designed for IRS cars. This place in addison has them for $164, if theyre a good tire the price is right.

^^ what he said

170 for the 345, not bad. Wonder if it fits on a 10.5 rim :thinking:

 

[Unoid]

240 for the 315/35/18

Interesting...

i did some private tire testing for Nitto/Toyo of this tire last year and it works ABSOLUTELY AWESOME!! our tires were R&D versions with hand carved grooves, but im pretty sure the compound is close to the final product. We are talking Mickey Thompson+ territory !!

 

[Ear Rak]

I'm sold on them.

Now who here wants to advise not to put a 345 on a 10.5 rim?

I read the add, and the small print, and I came away thinking It's probably just as good or better than most, but I can see life is going to be shorter than the others. We just can't get both yet, but hopefully it's comming.

i have their R-888 in a 335/30-18 and if those hook better then these tires ill be impressed cause these hook better then my 315 bfg drag radials did.

What makes a tire 'better' for an IRS car? On a sidenote, & somewhat directed at Bob, whats up with the nt1320 tire? I was reading an older mustang mag & they had an advertisement about the tire. I couldnt find any info on it though.

 

[Bob_Kurgan]

its my understanding that because of the state of the economy, all special projects are being put on hold. Their bread and butter is street tires and they are concentrating on selling those to stay in business. Im sure the slicks will be out eventually.

Damn, thanks for the quick reply! One more question, does that mean that Urist wont be using them this season, or will they only supply certain racers? Also, sending you a PM.

Urist has only tested them at the private rentals.. They still need some work but they are coming along.

Gotcha, thanks again

I'll stick to the 315

 

[about2bite]

They don't even look that wide, at least not in these pics.

I'd like to get a measurement on how wide they are and compare them to my current 315's.

Once you get the 315's on post up how they perform and fit, I may go this route. For the price they seem like a great deal.

 

[Ear Rak]

If i go that route, definately will get pics and review.

 

[Aron]

Only $145 for the 255/50/16 Got me thinkin...

 

[bmxer89]

Wonder if there 315 fits on stock rims like nittos???

Im running Toyo Drs in the back and Toyo Radials in the front. Ive yet to hop in this car. I do have more done though.
I wasnt much on the Toyo name when I saw they were on the car before buying it. Once I got the car the guy told me you are gonna love these Toyos. I had 2100 miles home to play with them and man he was right.
