Nice. Let us know if they are really as sticky to the Kuhmo V700 as its reputation has it.
Grassroot Motorsport found them to be an hybrid between the Toyo RA1 et the V700. Predictable and sticky.
 
Ya its allot of rubber, but the B15 Sentra is a pig compared to its previous generations :)

I havent read one bad comment about these, and just looking at them these look like velcro.

I'll post reviews when I get a chance, first step is a heat cycle, as soon as I get some 19mm lug nuts, my stock 21mm are too big for the Rota's.
 
If your lugs are 12mm, then Talon has 19mm x 1.5mm and 17mm x 1.5 open nuts with tapered shoulders. They also have them with 1.25 thread. They sell for around $1 a piece.

:) A friend of mine just told me the same thing, I'll be going there soon :D

Thanks.
 
Sweet

They look pretty good.

I just hope that they are better in the rain than the V700! The RA-1s are fantastic under rainy conditions.
 
Ha...just got mine.... too same size and mags....I heat cycled them on Saturday...


I can't wait to try them this saturday at the open house.

The RA1 has abit more thread depth than the V700, but it is okay in the wet as long as the tire has not too many weekends and that there is not standing water on the track. Smooth and flat pavement and standing water are not Toyo Ra1's best friend.

Tremblant can be very slippery in certain sections were water doesn't evacuate, even with RA1. After corners 6 (left hander) and 7 (right hander) at Tremblant, you'd better get proper rain rubber when it pours seriously...
 
OK, I slapped these on last night to do a heatcycle.

Put them on at work, and drove them home.

These tire are pure glue. The car feels like it CANNOT loose grip...
obviously it can, its just the feeling while driving on the street :D

Makes my suspension feel like its shot, hehe, so much grip.

I took a few on ramps and off ramps and a good 40km/h faster than I usualy do, while still accelerating and doing a back and forth motion with my steering to find out where they would let loose... I just could find it.

They arent as stiff as the Azenis where, but grip way much more, they are lighter, or maybe its just the rota's giving me that impression.

Anyways, Im suprised and happy. I'll be trying them this weekend on the race track, so I'll have more info soon.

Chris, shame on you for street racing... *fag* You should know better. *tu*

I am sure however you will put them to good use on the track.

You'd think that now that we are at the track that heat cycling my new Z211's would be easy....nope the track is ooked solid.......sooooo I too am driving them on the street. I will post soon my finding on their wet ability (limits) after Saturdays track day.

See ya there.
