Finally got some second hand r888's on the car, done one race and qualifying session.

After doing 500miles since its been road legal and one trackday on halfords tyres......

Went out for a 30minute blat in the damp conditions. Already noticed a great improvement, cant wait for a nice warm day now

Glad to hear it, because I bought some too, and will try them in the spring: crap tyres on 13" now, but going to 15" with the R888's. Here's hoping they fit under the front wings.

Hopefully you will be screeching less next time aswell ed!

Hopefully will be doing brands again next year.

I want some too, where is the least expensive way to fix that,.... I've got 15" wheels,..

i paid 80 dollars US each from Online Tires. 205/50R15 only.

don't try them in heavy rain on the track, i did, ended up going backwards quickly !! kept it out of the wall ........ just !!

Yeah i span 3 times on a damp track. partly due to my poor lines partly because i expected more from them.

everybody says they are not great but i was amazed how bad they were. i would never use these as my main road tyre.

Yesterday in the wet i thought they were brillant!! Yes you've got to realise that your on semi slick tyres but much better than alot of tyres i've driven in the wet

got mine from

cheapest at the time ( couple of years ago )

Ive been meaning to get R888 for years.. Just could not justify spending £600+ on a set for my old coupe.. Even the Mk Indy you are talking £100+ per corner...

I think Santa might be bringing me some!

as per the earlier question: I am in Canada, and had them shipped to a US address and drove down and picked them up there.

Stu, you'll have to let me know when they are on and which trackday your planning on testing them. ATB Dan.

I'm also waiting to try some. Hopefully they'll be worth it!

Westfield have a special offer on at the moment:

7 x 13 Inch Pro Race 1.2 Fitted With 205 x 60 x 13 Toyo 888 : £675

Is this a good price ?


( http://www.retweeter.co.uk/magento/shop/ but there is some issue with their web site, so special offers don't always show up in your order basket - better to ring and check )

Tim.

I'd say thats a pretty good deal.
i'm currently looking at tyres, my wheels are 9.5" wide, 15" diameter, so looking for something like a 235/50r15, i'm coning up at £186 each for R888's very strange, seems very limited on tyres in the size i want
13" R888's are only £80 each...

eddie99 had wheels on special too at one time. Midland Wheels does at the moment.

Yes that is a cheap deal if your after new r888's. I had a deal with compomotives for the CXRS at £460 a set but i believe they have recently put that price up a bit, And r888's cheapest is £80 a tyre, so if you like team dynamic pro race wheels its a decent saving.
