PURCHASED FOR TRACK USE. DROVE ON THE STREET & HIGHWAY FOR HEAT CYCLING. NOISY ON ROAD & FOLLOW LINES IN ROAD. GREAT FOR THE TRACK, BARELY SHOWES ANY WEAR.

TOYOTA MR2 TURBO

Comment:
These tires are the pinnacle of performance and comparison to similar race tires and these tires actually perfect the concept of "tire suspension". Bump steer is eliminated on many applications and even at high and low speeds, the feel of the road remains constant. From the canyon to the track and to the street, these tires are probably the greatest upgrade to any vehicle today. I currently have them on my Mercedes SLK55 and VW Rabbit 2.5.

The Medium hard compound advan A048 is the first R comp I've had on my own car, the turn in and break away feel very much like a conventional street tire, its after a couple laps that these tires start to shine, once they are warm they have excellent cornering grip and are very consistent and predictable. the manufacturer recommends they be used between 33 and 36 psi warm.on three occasions I've started them at 28psi cold and have only gotten them to 31 warm, even at 31psi I was not getting full use of the tread block, though the sidewall still had some squirm. i used them for 1 auto X on a cool day and without hot lapping i could not get enough heat into them to out perform mediocre street tires. this is an excellent track tire, not so much an all arounder.
