I ran them for two seasons. Great life, very consistent, very lite. I liked them - just that the size offerings were too limited - either too short or too tall for my car. If they have the one that fits yourcar - I would highly recommend them.

i have a few buddies that run them and they love'em.my local track champ runs them as well as 3 or 4 friends of his(all mopars i might add)my bro Cecil Stanford runs them on his duster and he just won the mopar nats.i saw his time slips for that day and i was ammazed at the consistancy of that car..now giving that his car is a great bracket car and he can drive the wheels off of it..he still prasies them TOYO slicks and says he'll use nothing else.the scuttle-butt gonin on around here is that TOYO is runing some special.buy 1 set get the second free.now i haven't seen adds say'n such,but then again i haven't seen any adds on them at all.i'm sure they exist i just can't find them..i'm interested in getting a set but there size selection is pretty small..especially for a small tire(30x9)all i see for my application says for stick cars only.?..stiffer side walls i'm guessinthey're web site isn't the greatest,i was unable to find a local dealer that handled the racing slicks.gonna search some more tonite.i would like to have a set for Norwalk in a few weeks.

I run them on my stocker 9X30, they were a little taller and wider than my Hoosiers.They shipped them to my door for 215.00.I asked about the stick only and was told, the reason they said that was.In testing the slick cars would run as fast as any of the other slicks.The automatic cars run a little slower than the other slicks.But for 215.00 to your door there not that much slower.

Thanks for the input.I bought a set of 16/33s got a good deal on them I wasen't sure about them. I ran them the last two weekends and they seem ok. Still havent found the psi I like. My rebound was to soft and think the body was lifting to high. So it spun a little bid will see next sunday? other wise i like them. 6 PSI seems low I've gone as low as 6 3/4

I bought a set of used 16x33's with 40 runs for $50. I just took them off 2 weeks ago after I put 200 more runs on them. Seem to work as well as M/T's.
I ran 8.5 to 9 psi.
