Toyo R888

(1/3) > >>

Big Red T:
Toyo r888 , anybody using them daily? What are they like in the wet? My first tyres were Michelin pilot sport2 which were excellent my next set were continental conti sports which were really good but not brilliant my third set are pirelli zero Nero which I think are complete rubbish so next up could be toyo 888,s or michelins again. Any help?

ongoing:
I used them on my Type R EP3, they were great in the dry crap in the wet!

I prefered Yoki Prada Spec 2's, don't know what they'd be like on the Golf

Big Red T:
Thanks ongoing, I had an ep3 brand new which I thought was crap in the wet regardless of tyres as it was far too stiff ( no offence). To me the mk5 has twice the handling of an ep3 especially in the wet. It's just the torque lowdown seems to kill the traction of what is such a capable engine.

What is your driving profile?

Only daily commuting or a few track days as well?

The R888 are very noisy and a pain in the rain.
So nothing to go for on a daily driver.

Look for R1-R, RS-2, AD08, 595 RS-R if it should be track proof.
If not, but sportier than most others: P Zero, PSS, SC5P.

are pilot super sports readily available yet? SC5P is that a Conti tyre?
