Why Toyo tires?

When Robby switched to Toyo was there a reason or just money? I wonder if he talked to Goodyear

Yup, and I was not debating any of that. I was debating the "Goodyear Tires suck, period. Trojan makes better rubber" comment.

I would not have even responded until I read that comment.

Dude, this is like the tenth "tire war" I have seen you involved in here. And although I respect your industry knowledge, the general concensus from the public is that Goodyear sucks!! I wouldn't waste a bit of energy trying to defend them. Nobody on this site is going to sing the praises of any non Robby sponsor!

Tenth? Really? Please find them.

You know what? I'm done here. Lets all celebrate intelligent comments like "Goodyear Tires suck, period. Trojan makes better rubber."

This is first time I have seen a guy get mad on planet robby. Hey Matt, this place is all about the good chi, maybe you want to get into zen mode and forget about the tires. I good years F1 eagles on my TL, they were a $100 per tire cheaper than the standard Michelin tires that come with my car. I dont have any compaints, but I still think as a racing tire they suck.

Well, I think if they went to a wider tire that would fix the tire problem and the COT. I'm educated in music and not engineering, but it seems to me that a wider tire would also take away some of the reliance on aero and level the playing field. However, I assume Goodyear doesn't want to spend the cash and NASCAR doesn't want to change anything right now. And, of course, a tire war is interesting, but just begs for debacles like the unsafe Hoosiers and the F1US GP a few years back.

I'm cool with Toyo. I usually just buy the cheapest, hardest tire for the road anyway 'cause I'm a cheap-ass. .... anyway, Go Robby!
