Exactly. I drive my L everyday so those are the tires I'll get next for that purpose. But, when I go to the track I'm going to have slicks to put on the back.

So far I am happy with my Toyos

Though I do have a different setup than most of you who are running Toyos. I run two different size tires on my truck 275/40/20 up front and 315/35/20 on the rear. Since the 275's are not as wide as the stock 275's it doesn't seem to wander on uneven roads and tracks better on the highway.

If they are louder than the F1's there is no way I can tell in my truck because with no cats it is loud as hell anyways.

As far as noise goes, I can't tell the difference between the F1's and the Toyo's. At the same inflation pressures, they both exhibit about the same level of road noise -- at least to my ears.

Maybe the Proxes but try the RA-1's. They will give you three times the tractions of the Good year's.

305-35-18 on the road course. i bet you I'm pulling a full G.

Just bought 4 toyo's for 756.00 shipped. f1's are somewhere near 229 each right now. I also have a pair of AR baja's and hoosiers coming soon.
