OK, mounted the wheels and took the car out for a test drive (45 minutes).
All I can say is --- WOW...
these things grip fantastically and I found no real additional road noise compared to the goodyears. Just a slight hum above 75.
Man once these things warm up (and they do so quickly when you're near the 80's), GRIP...
The goodyears would take me sideways in 3rd gear @ 70 at 1/2 throttle, not these, 3rd gear, 1/2 @ 70 -- BITE -- very little slippage before it bit...
I'm going to order me a second set just for my daily driver wheels and trip to CamaroFest.
I average 2 years on the goodyears (with track days) so I'm expecting at least that since I now have 2 sets -- one for road course, one for driving...
Here are the pics:

Ordered a second set of tires too for DD...
BTW, these come heat cycled ready to go! No shaving or heat cycling needed according to Toyo rep-- how about that!
