No there isnt a right and left side tyre, the tread does face the opposite way from side to side

I'm sure Toyo has spent a great deal of time & money designing the tyre & testing the tread pattern, I wouldn't worry about it Chris. I'd certainly like to try a car shod with them...hint, hint!

They are a complete new tire design
The tire wall is 16% stiffer than the old 888 and has different tread pattern
I'm sure some of the tire technology has been carried over but they are completely different

After watching the zandvoort movie again yesterday (I like that one) you went in almost straight.
Brake failure?

In that video I had lee scratching his head, even though he had a helmet on
Screaming in the first corner
And giggling like a girl for 10 mins in the gravel trap
