Default Current thoughts and experience on Track day/Autox Tires

So, I ended up with 3 Style 46 16x7s, so I had to come up with a different plan. I put the Toyo's R1Rs on a set of 16x7 Z Stars I took off of my Z3 and will use those.



I've been breaking them in this week. While a smaller tire overall than the Direzzas, they seem to grip much better. The lighter wheel/Tire combo gives a little more Zip out of the M44.

It also dropped the ride height about 1/2". I plan to install the H&R f/r sway bars in this weekend.

It will be good to see how they perform on the drive down and on the track.
