Right, you want those tires quickly so you can not trophy right away. 8)

Well, I might not know yet how to NOT overdrive them. Yes, seriously, I
found myself keeping up with the fastest drivers on my old Toyos. I have
been through maybe 5-6 sets of Toyos over the last 6-7 years and I
always did worse when they were knew. My only ever "Fast Time of Day"
trophy was on 3 year old Toyos I pulled out of my shed as a desperate
move as my R1s were gone (yes, the rain in the second half of the day
kept the mod cars from beating me, but the 130hp MR2 still beat most of
the stock classes).
They are like the old R1s where a little bit of cord only means that I
have to order some new tires soon. 8)
