Question

Just ordered a set of Toyo proxes ZR T-1's for my Scoob, gonna be fitted next Saturday, hopefully

Just a quick question - Do I have to run / bed these tyres in and if so how long for.

Chuckin' off my Potenza's as they are tram lining like crazy, cars all over the place, mind you they have worn VERY well.Just hope the Toyo's dont have this annoying habit.

Yeh you will need to remove the top layer of them, they might feel a bit squirmy to start with.Just dont go charging into a corner max speed after fitting em, couple hundred miles should do the trick.
As for tramlining, if they are 18" then I have read that they can be bad for this, but 16-17" are OK

Cheers Chaps

Will treat them with care for first 500 miles, then give them a good run to makes sure they feel right before giving them some greef.
