[Roadsters] New Tires!

[Alvin Gogineni]

I suffer from severe "deferred maintenance" when it comes to my roadster.
The Hankook R-S3 tires I have been running were almost down the cords yet I
still continued to drive on them...in wet conditions.

After driving a 240z with Toyo RA-1s I was sold, but they don't make a
205/45/16 size. I did not want to run the R888(R) or similar semi-slick on
the street and ended up getting the Toyo R1R.

Here are the old Hankooks next to the fresh Toyo's. The Hankooks served me
well with about 9,200 miles of driving.

I've only had the R1Rs for two weeks, but my quick blasts up in the canyons
left me smiling.

There are few track days scheduled in 2021 I'm excited to see how they feel.
