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,

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.
