Noweher can be any wetter than Knockhill last year. The Yoko's were fine in the wet once warmed a little so I dont see why the soft and flexible chronic t1r will be any better than a warm ish 888.

All else fails, I will write Toyo on the side of my bridgestones and Toyo can bite my arse for not providing the tyres that are suitable for the conditions.

Thought sure I had read somewhere that some people have these already :?:

I assume that if they are not readily available through Toyo, they will not be eligible to run in Time Attack?
