Driving Impressions with Iforge and Toyo tires

Pele96 · 07-26-2007, 10:30 AM

Just wanted to give some feedback to the everyone on my first couple of weeks with my new set up which is 19x8 F and 19x10 R Iforge Senenka w/ Toyo TR's. So far the ride has been comfortable. Not as hard as the RFTs. Mind you I have the ZSP suspension. I have been up to 140mph on the highway with no problems. Cornering and handling have been very good. I am very happy with the finished product

ah toyos, good for the road HORRIBLE for the track.

I had toyos on my Z, they were ok in wet and dry weather, and grip real good around curves but for the track they suck

nice set up either way

+1 Have them on my Z too...

Toyos are very good for daily driving. comfortable, long lasting, etc. Great tire.

Sidewalls are just to soft for any sort of tracking though. Guses what Hoosiers and Kumhos are for...

Car looks nice!!

good write up for futur buyers.... glad you're enjoying your setup... your car looks good, but needs to be lowered a bit... IMO

Very nice looking.
Do you find it hard to access the valve stems to put air in your tires?
Never liked that about the I-forges. The valve stems are hidden behind the spokes. Good luck fitting a pressure gauge or air hose in there. Or fitting a big brake kit with large rotors. Iforge has some attractive styles, and I loved the look of mine, but sold them a year later for this reason. That and the deep groove they have on the inside lip gives tire techs grief trying to mount/repair tires on them.

Wheels look amazing!

Thanks and I have been looking into that. I have been researching as I want to put the best suspension I can without effecting the car fine balance. I heard that BMW will be releasing their own line of products so I will wait a little longer.

Yes a pain but I bought an air pressure gauge with an extension and it worked fine. Filling the tires with a tire was little bit more effort but it was not that hard..

Yes I have read alot of reviews on these tires and got the same feedback. Great for street driving and for very light track usage. Although these sidewalls are a bit stiffer than the t1S's..

Very nice photos. Absolutely love your color combo. Monaco looks very classy.
