Truth!
Sounds as if the RRs like a driving style very similar to the Hoosier R6/SM6 (the tire that was pretty obviously the “target” Toyo was using). You still have to drive them very hard to wring the last out of them, but not sliding. Attack the brake zones, go much deeper. The biggest difference I noticed from RA-1 to SM6 was how much more speed scrubbed from turn in to apex with the SM6. Using the same braking points/style (but hopefully not style points :woohoo: ), I was no faster with the Hoosier. Once I carried more speed in the first part of the turn, my lap times dropped.[/quote]
That’s interesting steve–the 944 guys who ran them last year were saying that grip in the brake zones was equivalent to the RA, but it was the lateral grip that was improved which makes sense if its the same compound but different construction, no? So you are finding more grip in a straightline too?
