Toyo stick tires
 

I was just getting ready to buy new Hoosiers for the Dart and got a flyer with a buy one get one for Toyo drive tires that are designed for stick shift stockers. Before I do something stupid and buy some has anyone out there tried them? The Hoosiers always worked well for me but if I can save 200 bucks I'll do it. Thanks in advance for any information.

I think you just answered your own question ..... Unless you are having problems , why risk it ... I would stick with the Hoosier's, you are getting what you paid for ...? Good Luck,

I LOVE my Hoosier radials, but at $184 to $190 for a PAIR!!! plus no shipping, for toyo bias plys its got me seriously thinking about a set of Toyos

Where would a person find out about this Toyo 2 for the price of 1 deal? I was thinking of trying a pair of Toyo slicks, a deal like this would certainly be of interest to me.

Hey Rory, I think all Nhra racers are getting a flyer in the mail, but just call a Les Schwab store, they all seem to know about it. One in Oregon City Oregon is 503-657-1235

Rory,
There is a les schwab just across the Aldergrove border crossing on birchbay lynden rd just east of the guide. . You may want to ask a few people that have run the toyo's before you buy a set though, Everybody that I know that has used a set got rid of them in short order. If you come down let me now, You can see my house from the parking lot.

Tim & Phil, I checked on the Toyo & the Les Schwab websites, and I didn`t see any mention of these deal, although I heard Toyo has done this sale before. Since my car is a stick, I figured for $200. or so, I`d like to give the Toyos a try. Plus I could likely benefit from the slightly shorter 29" Toyo`s.
Phil, if I do go to the Les Schwab store near you, I`ll let you know. Thanks.

We run them on our stocker and have no complaints. No, they are not the optimum slick and yes, the radials would be better, but at 2 for 1 it's a good deal. We have run a best 60 ft. of 1.56 with an '85 Olds Cutlass with a 307.
They have also been very consistent. they run back to back ET's on all tracks.

Peter Dodge used them on his B/S Camaro worked just fine. He used an 8 or 9 inch rim. TOYO told me they didn't work with 10's. I tried them all except TOYOs. The Hoosiers were the second quickest with my old sets of Firestones the best, but the Hoosiers really last. But that was just on my car your car/setup might like something different.

what do you mean Jeff?my bad english

Re: Toyo stick tires
 

Tim. I have a set if you want to try them. They didn't work on the Nova but OK on the Malibu. I can mount and balance . John. call me (503) 799-6204 . If you find another 2-1 flyer let me know .

Re: Toyo stick tires
 

1320 MPH should be 10.00 ET. Either your slicks, clutch, or both need further evaluation. One assumption I am making is that track prep is up to par over in Europe compared to here in the USA. If not, then that creats another issue which you may not be able to resolve.

Re: Toyo stick tires
 

John, you can use my flyer, but I doubt you need it. Just call Oregon City Les Schwab, I think it was danny. I think all the Schwabs know about the deal. I'm just planning on getting a new set of Hoosier Radials. They aint cheap, but I love em. Pm me if you want the flyer. Tim
