A friend of mine who regularly runs his 911 (it's a 993) at DE's has a set. At one event last year I asked him what he thought of them. He said they grip well, but have a very disconserting feel. He said he could feel the tread "squirming" as you go through corners. Based on his feedback, I won't be trying them myself...

I've seen some remarks in the archives, but nothing with first-hand experience. I think I'll be ordering some new track wheels/tires this week, and since TireRack doesn't sell Toyos, I'm looking for something I can drive to and from the track on. I've heard many a horror story of the Kumho V700 and the Victoracers just don't look like something that would channel water well in the event of FWY rain. I'm close to biting the bullet on the light and inexpensive Kosei K1s (17x8.5) and having them mounted with the Corsas. I know others running 255 Toyos with no problem, and the spec sheet makes it look like thise are just a couple 10ths of an inch wider, so I'm hoping for no issues. Has anyone run this size on the K1s? (I currently have -3.5 degrees of camber in the front and -2.0 in the rear) Jonathan L. ************************************************* Please help support the E36M3 list by visiting our sponsors: Bimmerworld http://www.bimmerworld.com Turner Motorsport http://www.turnermotorsport.com Eurosport High Performance http://www.eurosporthighperformance.com Rogue Engineering http://www.rogueengineering.com Treehouse Racing http://www.treehouseracing.com DIGEST INFORMATION: http://www.bmw-m.net/resources/digest_info.htm *************************************************
