Default Any Experience with Toyo TQ drag tires?

Has anyone used the Toyo TQ tires? They are significantly less $ compared to Proxies RA1. Thank you for your responses.

I have read some reviews stating they are more stable than MT Street ET and other drag tires. Overall almost all reviews state they grip well with better stability, which also meant they didn't grip as well as the more unstable stickier tires

at least that is what I've read.

I plan to run this tire in a few months.

I'm running them. I've had them on my car for around 2 years now with roughly 5k miles on them. I can say that they definitely handle well. I was worried they were going to have a ton of roll over when I first put them on my car but surprisingly they don't when you have proper pressure in them. I've made 20+ passes at the track and on the street they grip in 2nd gear and up (once heated up). I'm considering buying another pair here soon.

Update: I purchased two of the 315/35-17 Toyo TQs and mounted them on some 10 inch Volk wheels. They hold very well in a straight line but since I am running them
at less than 25 psi they are not the best in high speed corners. I am very satisfied with my purchase.


The 315 TQ is next to a 275 RA-1
