Cant help you with this one buddy, but I can offer a rennlister a swap. my brand new 17" V700s as a swap for a set of 16" V700s. I will throw in a few bucks.

The Victoracers I know reallly stick! Be careful though because if you're careless with the tire, they blister or cord very easily. Keep your pressures right and be smooth, and the tire will show you it loves you on the course

ive run the victos and many of my bud's have run the toyos. im making the switch but only cuz im doing more track events. From what i hear they are very close but the toyos are maybe better suited for the track as opposed to the more autox ready victos.

The Toyos will last longer than the Victoracers too

I have heard (hearsay, I know) that the V700's must be shaved for track use or they will wear inconsistently and cord prematurely. That means another $60 expense on top of the tire cost. No personal experience with them though.

FWIW, I just purchased another set of RA1's from www.edgeracing.com. I ordered them on Monday and they arrived yesterday (Thursday). Not bad, I'd say, and their prices are reasonable as well. This is my second good experience with EdgeRacing.

very interesting! Locally i can get 245/45/16 RA1's for 209each installed- but i can get them here for 179ea saving prob over $100 and i have a guy that can mount all four for me for probl. $20!.

That pricing is really weird, I hadn't noticed that before. I just bought 275/40/17 for $178 each, I would have thought the 275/17's would be a lot more money than the 245/16's, but that's not the case. Maybe because the 245/16's are a spec tire size?

What type of driving are you going to be doing the most.I'm a open track& DE junkie.I do like the victors. Wifes(SCCA licenses crossing over to NASA) toyo are wearing really good and she likes them,but likes victors better.I myself use Falken azenis rt-615.
ran track 22 times + a few autoX.Still have some tread on them.Toyos might of do this ,I highly doubt victors would of.I would choose tires on how much track,AutoX,and street driving use.Unless you have unlimited $.
Hope this helped

Victos should be better. They are an R-Compound and Toyo RA-1's aren't. Right?

J Silverman

Theyre both R compound tires. The V700 will be a stickier tire, but give up tread life. If you are just doing track days Id go with the toyo.

Anyone want the victo's i got last week? Brand new, tire rack gets 700 for em. wanna save 150?

I am probably usingthem mostly for autocross. I will try to ge them on the track for a DE toward the end of the season.

Correct, you have to be a pretty wheeler to extract out the difference.
