Toyo R888's (got 'em)
« on: June 28, 2011, 12:25:45 pm »
Anyone know if someone has 888's in stock?  (225, 40, 18's)

My fronts are finished after 3 track days but the rears are Ok.

Demon Tweeks are saying nothing till September   :confused:

what about a set of federal 595RS-R's.  Apparently 90% the dry performance of r888s, better wet performance and cheap as chips

I've just bought a set of the 595 RS-Rs, 1 track day old and loads of life left in them for £200, not tried them as yet but they get good reviews  :happy2:

None in stock, I think he tried not to laugh out load  :wink:

May well give the federals a go, just a bit of a pain having only 2 good 888's.
