I am SURE there must be threads SOMEWHERE that give all the fine detail on what I should put on the standard wheels on my 98 Griffith 500, but I can't find them. My Bridgestone SO2s are worn front and back, it's a typical weekend fun car (OK the odd track-day but I am not into demon "will save you 0.2 secs but fall off in the wet and last 3 laps before worn out" specials). The balance of wet or dry roadlolding and wear from the SO2s is OK, but they are history now (or are they?).

Toyo T1R is the tyre of choice for Griff's & Chim's. They are a very close match for the SO2pp for wet and dry grip, slightly better than the SO2 in the wet as I recall. They have softer side walls so in order to get the ride right you need to add a couple of psi to the cold book setting.
