Thanks for all the replies, I just received my 29x9.0x15 Toyo slicks from a company called Treadepot.com in Georgia.
I look forward to meeting some of you at Edgewater or tri-state in 2011 !
I run at both .

Thanks for the reply. My set were delivered today. I have never used anything but M.T. wrinkle wall slicks before. So I have no experience with a stiff walled tire. I usually run 14 lbs. of air in the M.T.'s. I had hoped that Toyo would have sent some air pressure recommendations along with the tires, but they did not.
They told me 9psi since they have a stiffer sidewall, I'd already been to the track with them and knew this wasnt the case. I found an extra 1lb over the M/T's worked best for us but looking at the vids and such they would probably take more. IIRC ended at 13 psi, have to check the log book.

I was thinking about going ahead and getting a set of Toyo since they were so cheap to try them but I spoke with someone who sold Toyo and learned that they haven't made slick since 2008 so they are old slicks and that's why they are getting rid of them. They also don't have any plans on making more so think about that before you buy them.
I may still buy some since my car will almost hook in a car wash and since I'm over tired...

I just recieved my new set of Toyo's from Les Schwab 14.5x32.They look very nice,roll out was EXACTLY the same,they balanced w/ mininium weight.They look like a slightly stiffer side wall than my regular Mickeys 3074, more like 3074s.The Les Schwab website was easy and helpful.www.lsdragslicks.com/faq.asp.Best of all they were $318.00 for a pair delivered.I'll see how they work in a week or so.I believe they're bias
