mk type R

I have just changed my wheels from 17"bridgestone reo70 to the 18" toyo R both the same width,

I have noticed the handeling has suffered badly when cornering, it feels abit floppy i think its the tyre flex?? dose anyone else have simular problems?

I have been experimenting with tyre pressures and dont think it can be this

Any recomendations are most appreciated

I have RE070's on my summer STi alloys and T1-S's on my WRX winter wheels. The RE070's add 30mph to a local roundabout I use to test in the dry. They have exceptionally rigid sidewalls, and with the semi-slick style tread pattern dry cornering grip is nothing short of sensational. Whenever I switch back to the Toyo's I have to be very careful, but not as careful as using the 70's through a typical British winter.

^^^That pretty much sums it up- The RE070's have the edge in almost every situation

Have you tried Goodyear F1 GSD3 ?

I prefer the handling characteristics of the Toyo although the F1 is an excellent tyre
