For those of you who have replaced the runflats with non runflats, can you give me a percent number for how much better the ride quality is?

Thanks again for your input.:)

With 22's and Toyos the ride is better. If you were to go with 20" Toyos your ride would be better by far, but you will see more body roll. For 20's Goodyears are best for performance but worst for ride.

I have the 20 inch Toyos and the percent difference is 100% or even better if your a visual person.... Night and Day, Black & White, Ying and Yang, Frick and Frack....lol......seriously probably one of the best mods I've done and coupled with the Bwoody sway links performance in the corners are above the Goodyears.

Gotta agree with Kayce. Definately one of the best mods so far.

Ari, How hard can you launch with the Toyos compared with the Goodyears?
I'm tempted by the 315/275 combo but afraid to loose some all important off the line traction, as the Goodyears have been great so far getting me a best 1.68 on the 60ft and 3.44 0-60mph
I tried the 315 Michelins before and could not get those to hook as well as the Goodyears

My 22" TOYOS hook up better than my 20" Goodyears off the line. No spin, no chirp, just hook up and go

Thanks! Good info, what size are you running? Staggered?

Claude, its tough to tell cause I had the Headers only for about 2-3 weeks, then I got the Toyos. I think they launch better. Granted now I have the H&C setup, its a different ballgame. I would get wheelspin with the runflats if I pulled the abs fuse, and I got wheelspin with the Toyos also.
I have to say I think the Toyos grip better though on launch.

Thanks, I'll have to get my rims repaired for some curb rash this winter so I'll get those on for the spring. The wider look and smoother ride will be a plus

The rims are wider by a 1/2 inch but I dont feel that is what made the biggest improvement. The tires are 265/35 and 295/30 10.5 rear rims and 9.5 front rims. The tread and compound are what I believe allow it to "hook up"
