Why Toyo tires?

When Robby switched to Toyo was there a reason or just money? I wonder if he talked to Goodyear

Are you talking off-road? If you are, he raced BF Goodrich before TOYO. Look at the question you're asking and look how big those TOYO decals are on the side of those Hummers and his TT. Big stickers means big Dollars!

TOYO makes one HELL of a tire.

Yeah, when you get a flat and the tires end up in a recycle bin, they're off the road!

Goodyear tires suck period? Educated comment, no really, it definately is...

Goodyears offroad program is practically nothing at this point, mainly due to budget. When the Wrangler MTR came out almost 8 years ago though, that was a big break through at the time.

You want to have an educated discussion about Goodyears racing program or their decent offerings for on road, let me know. If you want to spout off and repeat Tony Stewart, well then I guess Ill just mind my own business and laugh...

You must work for Goodyear, or Na$car!

Yes an educated comment, just thousands of wasted dollars on Goodyear tires. My opinion is they're a bigger POS than Waltrip!

Why so defensive about Goodyear?

And no, I'm not a well edumacated individual about the junk that Goodyear produces. I was giving an opinion. Before you make personal attacks on peoples edumacation, and intelligence, look in the mirror. "your clearly in the know." You're clearly in the know, is what you should've typed!

Matt has done a lot of work for Goodyear, Goodyear in the past has made a good tire, but now-a-days it is pretty poor in comparison with the competition, mostly because of budget. Goodyear also gives great pit support for smaller teams in Baja. Honestly without them many people wouldn't get to race every year.

Yep. Budget cuts are painful. And yes, Goodyear's offroad program is not good currently. My issue is the blanket statement someone tries to make though.

TorqueWrench, show me another tire company that can make a drag racing tire with the controlled growth capabilities of Goodyear's. Hoosier tried to bust into Pro-Stock while I was at Goodyear. They were so bad, they let Warren Johnson use Goodyears and black out the lettering just to make fields.

So your a spell checker now? I'm questioning your intelligence regarding the BS statements your making, not how well your grammer check is.

Why not be defensive about Goodyear when people who don't know make claims like they have first hand knowledge. Repeating Tony Stewart's statements does not make you an expert, or correct.

Personal attack? No just a statement. The word is educated, and the word to describe you'RE attacks on Goodyear is ignorant.
