[Fot] Toyo hot/cold tire pressures

[Tony Drews]

I was running 205-50/15's.  Unfortunately, 60 series tires aren't 
available.  Loved em!  Started full depth, took it slightly easy on 
them for a bit to avoid any chunking problems, and got like a season 
and a half out of them.  Switched to the Speedsters as at least one 
of the vintage groups I run with has issues with the fact that they 
are 60 series.  Too bad, because the Toyos are relatively 
inexpensive, have the SAME grip level as comparable Hoosiers, and 
last a long time.  When I was running the Vintage TD's, tire costs 
were killing me - that's why I switched to the Toyo.  The Speedster 
came out about the same time I made the switch.

The 205's fit the TR-4 better than you'd think.  I'm running 6" wide 
panasport wheels.
