Forgot to mention one thing I learned this year about Toyos, which in
hindsight seems should have been more obvious.

The Toyos work better on grippier surfaces. They don't work as well on
slippery surfaces.

The Toyos work well when they are warm (but not hot). The do not work
well when it's cold.

So, if you run on cold slippery asphalt, these may be a poor choice. I
think they do "okay" on San Diego's Qualcomm surfaces, and we are
normally warm. But they did much more poorly at San Bernardino's
slippery surface, at least for my "not quite as controlled" driving
style.

Randy Chase "the highest finishing ProSolo driver on Toyos" ..WHAT? No
trophy for that?
