[Fot] TOYO Proxes 888

[Scott Janzen]

funny, I run the Toyo R888s, and was running the same 20 lb +/- pressures, on
my GT6.  I had pretty even temps across them, but was getting a lot of
understeer.  Kas suggested the pressure was way too low for radials.  I had
started in the mid 20s and worked my way down.  Then I went up close to where
the Miata racers run them - 29 rear and 31 front cold, about 35 hot, and the
handling is much improved.
Still getting even temps across the tires - running 1.8 degrees negative
camber front and 2.2 rear.  Tried to get pressure recommendations out of Toyo,
but no luck.

Miss the Kumho V700s - they were a stickier, better handling tire, but not
available in this size any more.

Hi both,
I run the Toyo's on my TR4 in the US and the Yoko's on my TR6 in the UK and
have a little success with both....however, I run a very stiff, lowered
suspension setup and therefore very low tyre pressures so I can get the car
to
handle like a Go Kart, pressures are worked out with my suspension settings
and my style of driving and after a lot of testing, it is a personal
thing....

Happy to provide my pressure settings though.

Keith
