Toyo R888's

[Madmile]

Custardcupra tried to fit 215-55-16 R888's on to his Seat sport OZ super T's, they were to big and catched on the arches but 215-40-16 T1-r's were not a problem. Does anyone know if 195-50-16 R888's will fit and would that size be safe on Seat sport OZ super T's.

Cheers

if you speak to a bloke called alan meaker at toyo he informed me they should fit but obviously thats a should not a guarantee

R888's have a much squarer sidewall than normal?

I've run 205's & 195's of 'normal' tyres on a 7J rim both not over hanging for info

they last about 3 weeks, and don't even think about using them in the wet. My mates 206 would spin the wheels in 4th at 60 odd mile an hour when not trying,

Nice for track use but shiite for road use, oh and they are very very noisey

mrsB wont use anything but R888's.
just had to fit some more on her car as she hated T1-R's (did'nt like em either)

Fine in wet or dry, winter or summer.
not long lastingbut great and grippy and good strong sidewalls.

50 profile might still be an issue as these tyres seem to be on the larger than advertised size and have very square edges

 

[Madmile]

There not a bad price from camskill at the moment, T1-r's are not as good as the T1's i reckon. Looks like i will have to do a little more research.

 

[ibizacupra]

t1-s were good, t1-r are dissapointing.

R888's are excellent.
bought mine thru Camskill - get a frequent buyer discount now lol

i bought Goodyear f1's for the first time ever and christ they are f*****g dangerous to put it mildly. What a complete disapointment. i thought Toyo T1S were the chepster of the tyre world hence the price difference. but i've ran toyo t1r's & t1s's for some time now and they're great incomparsin.

How much are 225 x 17 r888's ?

If the F1's were new, bed em in first!

Eagle F1 GSD3 is a better tyre than T1-S in my experience (especially wet grip)

its the amount of roll roll iv'e got by fitting them on,its serously nasty. example cruising at 70 mph and if you turn to overtake of come off a junction its scarey. You get the feeling the back end is going to fling out and you going to end up in a spin. the worst tyres i've ever had ~ comparable to my old landrover's cross ply and i'm not joking.

Wheel spec 17" x 7.5"ej

Tyre spec 215 x 40 ZR 17 83W

tyre pressure 32 psi

the rim proctecters seem huge also, but i didn't have a choice when purchasing them though. they look the business and for £60.00 per corner believe me i want them to work. maybe adust psi to 36psi

 

[Addo]

i'll check all tyre pressures again tonight failing that i'll need to check roll bars

 

[ibizacupra]

cant see why 17's would be so much worse than 16's for same profile/width

 

[Prebs]

Madmile: Did a search on this thread wile back ago, didnt get any ideal answeres thou, but came up with -Yokohama A048 (spescial lotus edition) 195/50 16" The tyre looks wicked and from what I heard it beats the h... out of r888, but then again its a lot more expensive.

Not sure whether it matters or not, but are they the Made In Germany one's, or the Made In China one's?

 

[Rick-24]

im think of new set of rims... and i was gonna get eagle f1 GSD3's for them but after readin this thread im thinking maybe not .... looks like t1's then as ive ran them on my old 205 gti they was grippy but didnt last long
