TEST DRIVER EVALUATIONS
Asphalt Slalom Test, Big Bear Airport HANKOOK BFG TOYO
Traction Overall 8 4 6
Directional Stability 8 4 7
Steering Feel 7.5 4.5 7
Steering Input Responsiveness 8 4.5 7
Tire Compliance with Surface 7 5 4.5
Test importance 10 of 10 Average 6.67 5.25 4.92
TEST DRIVER COMMENTS:
Hankook: Excellent in all categories; excellent and predictable response to
driver inputs and weight transfer; quick and precise
BFG: Progressively increasing oversteer on rapid transitions resulting in
terminal oversteer (spin), poor response to steering and throttle inputs;
potential control loss in accident avoidance situations at limits of
adhesion on dry asphalt
Toyo: Very competent tire; no surprises or bad habits; good grip and
responsiveness; very predictable and stable

The Toyo Open Country All Terrain tires handled nicely with good grip and very good
feel and control. This tire had one clean run and one pylon on a run. Hitting the
pylon was due to two factors. First was slightly reduced feel and responsiveness
compared to a high performance tire and second was a slight oscillation, in the case
a convergent oscillation at the front which is much more manageable and easier to
control, affecting only the exact path as opposed to causing a spin or slide. Overall,
this is a good highway tire from a traction, response and drivability perspective.
