    Question Toyo Proxes R888

    Some good info, Just checked in on this, I went to toyo racing website,http://www.toyotires.ca/racing-program signed up to toyo racing, it's free and it gives you a 40% discount on the R888's, you order them through ok tire or any toyo dealer, for Canadian viper owners , not sure about the u.s

    No prob, you can't order till the spring , but 40% off us Canadians need that since our dollar is shit from the u.s dollar

    FWIW I looked at the list prices and already pay 40% or more off of them for sizes I buy; those list prices are HIGH - beyond what I pay for Michelin and Pirelli

    The list prices on that link are Canadian regular price not counting the 40% off

    I can find the front tires but only 345 for the rear.

    I ran down the numbers and after discount it works out to about $1500CDN for a set of tires. Great deal of the rear size can be matched

    The 345 rear will work just as well as the 355. I'm on my third set of fronts, but on my original rear tires, and they're in great shape!

    One thing to note.

    When I had my TA, while my rear tires had a decent amount of tread still left, they had simply heat cycled out from all of the sessions and track days. I didn't even realize it until I replaced them and was blown away by the new found grip levels. It's one of those things that they gradually loose grip and you just become used to it. If you find yourself sliding around a little more in the rear than you used to, I would replace them even if they have tread.

    Yea that's the widest size available with the R888, your stockers will fit them

    I run these on my Gen V's, love them. That's a big savings.

    I'm sure you're correct. On a related note, anyone know the high side of heat cycles the Corsa can take? It's gotta be more than a dedicated track tire, a la Hoosier?


    By the way, for our American friends, these days, $1500 CDN a set, would be like paying you to take them in USD, lol.

    Love mine too, BUT be careful with them in the wet!

    I got mine at a Great price last year.......I won them, No taxes to pay. I entered my name on a post card and put it in the competition box at last years Autosport show, a couple of weeks later I got a phone call to say I had won their 1st prize of a set of tires for my car

    When I told them my tire sizes they went a bit quiet, but after I sent them a few pictures of the car they said they would give me a full set of tires as long as I removed the old Michelin stickers and replaced them with Toyo ones Needless to say the stickers came off fast.
