you would of thought the left side would be moulded opposite but apparently not 

but i will be asking toyo uk tomoz morning

Obviously designed for clockwise tracks.

 

- would be interested in hearing the response from Toyo, these tyres certainly don't look like they would displace water at the same rate -

This is my biggest worry

[VXT Tim]

no they are as they drive in the pics   

I don't think I could cope with that, I wouldn't be able to sleep.

How do the tyres feel? Any difference on the road?

[CHILL Gone DUTCH]

even on the road they seem to have more straight line grip than the RSRs but cant really tell you more than that on the road,

 

roll on anglesey 

[siztenboots]

well they would , RSR compared to r888r tyre with a compound about 2-3 times softer

 

have a look at the federal fz201 instead

[CHILL Gone DUTCH]

well they would , RSR is a MSA class 1a , the other 1b tyre with a compound about 2-3 times softer

probably means these will wear out rather then just losing the shoulder 

 

ive got rid of two sets of RSRs with loads of tread left on them but they lose the byte in to corners 

 

but i am going to get a other set of wheels for the car and get the RSRs put on one set for the road as there more than up to the job on the road and just use the R888R tire for track day days 

 

as the RSRs are a fraction of the price of the R888Rs 

[CHILL Gone DUTCH]

i did but there marked as competition use only 

 

i also looked at a set of the nankang AR1 and the rubber on these felt considerbly softer than the RSRs and R888Rs

 

 

and the price of these is silly

Don't think the fz201 or ar1 are made in the right sizes. Neither are tyres like the Michelin pilot cup or pirelli trofeo. Our little cars have pretty limited choice of track tyres. Given the v70a are difficult to find/no longer being made(?) I guess it's down to a choice of r888r or ZZR for serious tyres or RSR's, ns2r or ad08r for track/road use?

Did you actually have any competition whilst on track? You just seemed to be leaving everything for dead
