Tires Toyo or IRONMAN
I’ve been running Toyo Extensa hp2 on my Q 50 with 450 hp for about 3 years now and I’ve gone through two sets. They’re fucking incredible. I love them they grip they rip and they look good, great with the snow where I live and the wet and perfect for carving up on dry afternoons on back roads.
I drive my 240 daily to my job at a ski resort in the Rockies. I've had a number of different snow tires and really like my current Toyo Observe G-3's with studs. 2x 80lb sandbags in the trunk and it's a great performer, very predictable. The Toyo's are quiet as well.
Got the new Toyo Open Country AT III EV tires. They ride A LOT SMOOTHER.
I know this is an old thread but everyone in it was wrong. The Toyo’s are far in away better at dry grip than ps4s and better for track days as they are far less likely to chunk under heavy loads for multiple laps. It’s faster in the dry than a pilot sport 5 which is faster than a 4s.
Ive had ironmans and they were good. Ive had sailuns that were good. Right now i have a car that has 5 yr old Solar brand tires and ive put about 80000mi on.
UK and lots of those are available, I run Toyo R888s on my Elsie and they Road Legal (I sprint/hillclimb in a road legal class)
Stock tires lasted about 50-60k miles on all three of my lightnings. I went with the toyos for replacements. My lightning has 10-15k on the toyos now, they're great. Smooth, wearing nicely, quiet, good efficiency, good in snow and rain, etc.
They are OK... Toyo makes a good tire, but as far as all-weather tires go the Celsius 2 are just average and similar in performance to most mid-grade all-weathers like Falken, Nexen, or General...
I too just replaced half worn ironman tires with dws's on a car I just bought. Wet grip on the ironman was some of the worst I'd ever experienced on a tire with tread still on it.
I have the crappy toyo tires and am actually shopping around for better tires.
