Toyo rear tyres for my chimaera - which ones?
Discussion
Hi guys,
I have Chimaera 500 and I am running the original wheel set-up: 16” at the rear and 15” at the front (I have a second set of Estorils so I could run 16” at the front and rear if needed, but I am happy with 16 at rear & 15” at the front, so not that bowered about changing, would only do it if finding the right 15” tyres are a real pain in the ass).
I have Toyo’s at the rear which are old, they are NOT Toyo R1R’s but an older model, and I have Toyo R1R at the front.
What would you suggest that I get, I am happy to get Toyo’s as I like them and the Toyo R1R I have at the front as 7 years old but have plenty of thread left and do not show sign of wear (I had the car serviced by Str8six and Jason confirmed that they are fine and do not need changing (the car is kept in a dark garage when not used)).
So what Toyo’s should I get for the rear, 16” (I do not need the “888” as I am not a regular track day guy, might do one this summer, but that would be about it… ) also if you have bought some lately and have found a good deal, I am all ears.
Thank you, Eric / Frenchie.

Hi Eric.
Uniroyal Rainsport 3 are favourite but if you are keeping to Toyos then how about the new R1 Sports.
