Just as I suspected- sticky summer tires!
 
A R&T "test" confirms the toyburu faster on the track and higher scoring on the skid pad when OEM tires replaced. I think they were chosen for drift demos/marketing. Problem: they last a hella' time.

Yep, imagine that. Oem tires sucketh... news at eleven! :p :happy0180:

This car does very well on the track with just a tire change. Oem suspension is good.

200 but that isnt really an indication on tire life. those things lasted me way longer than expected. i dont think the primacy is much higher (240 iirc) but whatever
