Our readers have spoken: the venerable Toyo RA-1 is still the track day king. Not surprising given its excellent price/performance/wear ratings. However, the king is now officially dead and it will be interesting to see how its replacement the Toyo R888 will do. 
The 888 has been available outside the US market for some time now so I expect no surprises, except maybe that Toyo would make a size that actually fits my car, that would be sweet.

I was surprised to see so few votes for the Hoosier and Kumho.
thanks for voting!

The Nitto NT-01 should have been a choice as well.
ReplyDeleteAgreed,, I realized I left the Nitto out but by then someone had voted and I could not change the poll.
