I have just fitted them to my griff 500 and they are fantastic.

Also Andy at TVR Monster was great to deal with, recommend his service

Andy, I understand that there are now 2 grades of rubber. Have you had any experience of the super soft varienty? I think toyo call it the SG.

Those guys could probably shed a few seconds a lap by going on diets!

Not yet, there are none in the UK yet via Toyo (though I know of a couple of teams that have imported them) but they are softer and by quite a way.

So far they have been used by drag strip guys who have to run road rubber and by some Msport teams who have been looking for an (illegal) edge via persoal import.

I guess over the winter we may do another test, but certainly ATM they seem to be quick enough already Dave!

Also the super softs longevity will be crap...1000mls tops? Competition use only I would suggest!

How long would these last using them on the road though ??

A shave might help aerodynamics as well! ;-)

on the three sets I have used up I get around 4000 mls with lots of track use, but I have heard of several owners getting 6000. I would suggest that they aren't using them very hard though.

I advise 4000/around 18mths to 2 years use.
