Default Re: Trackday Tyres

How many trackdays could I do on a set of 17 Toyo's or would it be recommended to get some specific track day tyres ?

Cheers

it depends on how hard you push it, how many laps you do, which tracks you drive and the weather

hard to say really

I did one airfield day on 17" Toyo T1-Rs. Six sessions of fifteen minutes or so. Granted they were probably under inflated. Granted I was sliding it a fair amount but I reckon they would only be good for one more day after swapping front to rear. Personally I am investing in a spare set of rims and trackday tyres as at least then I can rag them to within an inch of their lives and drive home legally.
