Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I daily-drive on the AR-1?
A: It’s possible but not recommended. The 100 TW AR-1 is geared heavily toward track performance. You’ll see faster wear and a firmer ride in regular traffic.
Q: Will I need special wheel alignments?
A: A track-oriented alignment (slightly increased negative camber, etc.) can help optimize contact patches and reduce uneven wear. Consult a performance shop for details.
Q: Are they safe in wet weather?
A: Light moisture is manageable, but heavy rain increases the risk of hydroplaning due to limited tread grooves. Drive cautiously in wet conditions.
Q: What tire pressures should I start with?
A: Many Supra drivers aim for about 28–30 psi cold, then fine-tune to 34–36 psi hot. Every setup is different, so adjust based on track feedback.
Q: How does heat cycling help me?
A: Heat cycling cures the rubber evenly, stabilizing the compound so your tires feel consistent over multiple sessions, reducing the chance of premature chunking or abnormal wear.
