Toyo R888 proxies I WON

**Fatboy 18** · 02-19-2015

Great day today, I attended the Autosport International show in January this year and entered my email address in a competition to win a set of tires on the Toyo stand,

Just received an email from the company to say I have won a set of tires!

I'm rather happy at the moment

Will update you when I get them

**FLATOUT** · 02-19-2015

Awesome! I run them on my TA and love them!

**Fatboy 18** · 02-19-2015

Have to say thats made my day

**Loud** · 02-19-2015

Ha! Nice. The R888's are awesome and mine are done in one season. Will be getting the same set again this year.

Awsome, dang so lucky! I love Toyo's.

**Heysie** · 02-19-2015

Do you get them in "Viper sizes"?

**Fatboy 18** · 02-19-2015

Im going to offer them the car for a photoshoot with their tires fitted which they can use for promotion stuff, that might swing it to get a full set of tires out of them

There is a cash value limit, but I'm hoping they will discount any additional tires needed

Theres enough in the Prize value to get at least a couple of rear tires

Love my R888s! They are monsters!

If its not too late, have them get you the 295 fronts, it helps with the handling.

**Fatboy 18** · 02-20-2015

Well its worked, I have got to remove the michelin stickers off the car and replace them with Toyo ones and then they will give me a full set , brilliant.

Thanks for the tip on the fronts, I will drop them an email

How much taller are the 295's?

The overall diameter is actually a little less; 295/30/18 vs 275/35/18

Im with you on this one, you never seem to see any prize presentations. When I filled out the competition form I was struggling as Im right handed and had my arm in a sling due to having broken it. You never know, that may have swung it?

You did not have to enter your car details, but I bet they were not expecting to give away a set of Viper Tires!

Here's an excerpt from the latest email I received

Hi Mark,

Great to hear from you, glad we have cheered you up!

Your car looks great!

Unfortunately we don’t do the R888R’s in 335/30 R18.

However we do the R888 in both sizes. The rear sizes are in stock and retail at £252.28 + vat

But the 275/30 R18 are currently out of stock and we are unlikely to get any in until April. And they retail at £214.13 + vat.

Ive spoken to the Marketing Manager about the prices ,as it will come above the £500, I told her how lovely you were and how happy you were to win and she said if you can swap your Michelin stickers for toyo we can give you the whole set?

How does that sound?

Best regards

I might have a problem if I use the lower diameter tires, my car is on lowering caps as it is and I struggle to keep the car from scraping on the UKs roads, this is not just a track car, I drive it on the roads too!
