Toyo R888's On The Street

[Bill Pemberton]

Not way more traction than the Corsa , maybe a P Zero.

Suggest some folks think about what they want the tire for, and the Corsa and R888 are DOT Competition Tires , so they are track tires that are still legal for the street. If you go to the track once a year or never, most should be looking at Super Sports or P Zeroes , imho, as they are a ton better in the rain, quieter, ride better, and will not track around a rutted road as bad. The Super Sports are decent enough that many folks run them in the One Lap of America.

R888 is a old tire design and is being replaced as it has been around for over a decade and hopefully the new tire will be quieter and have more performance, but if someone is not concerned with tracking the car , I would think the advantages with the maximum performance tires like a Super Sport or P Zero would be fine for the majority. I love stickier tires , but recommending them to many often finds folks unhappy with items no one mentioned to them prior to the purchase.

In the UK Pirelli tires are ridiculously expensive, the Toyo is far cheaper, I would not touch Pirelli unless they change there prices.

There also seem to be a lot of different specs with that companies brand of tire.Rosso, Corsa, P Zero. it seems very complicated trying to work out what tire is what for the Viper!

I also run R888 tires. They have an amazing grip on dry roads. As long as you don't do spirited driving during the rain, these Toyo tires are not bad at all.

Now on my second set of Toyo R888s with my 18"wheels. LOVE THEM.

Some of the posters in this thread are NOT using 18" wheels, there are more tire options out there for larger wheels, but the original question was relating to 18" wheels.
