$80 Toyo R888!

[Kershaw]

shoot, i was going to order a set this week once my paycheck cleared.

guess i'll be running toyo t1rs in 205/50 or r1rs in 225/45. hmmm.

[Wh33lhop]

Damn. They told me it would be good through the new year at least--I was gonna grab another set.

[10Toes]

Wow now they are $150, glad I got my set.

There are still some sellers on ebay that have them at a lower price.

[brian52555]

Deal is dead, was going back and forth in my head and waited until today to pull the trigger. Damn.

[FredK]

mine lasted WAY longer than 10k..

ok gramps.

JK

I'm at the bars, and I drove my R888s on the street for around 10K as well. They are definitely heat cycled out.

I got them to do some autocrosses but really, they're not great for that purpose. I got bumped into a higher class. They don't come up to temperature when it's cool outside. They'd be pretty good on hot days. I remember running a similar compound (RA-1s) on a hot day and I've never felt my car rotate so well.

[nando]

no they are an EXTREMELY soft compound they will not last. grippy as Fuck but no good in rain

Nonsense. mine lasted 3 summers (granted I ran them nearly to the chords, but they're R-comps - you're supposed to). also, they were just fine in the rain - I live in Washington. As Emre says they even seem okay at lower temps. They will be noisier and harsher than street tires.

the only issue with DDing them, is they will heat cycle out faster. basically they will just get hard over time. But not a big deal, really, they'll still stick well until the very end. It's not like you'd take the same tires to a track, and try to win a cash prize in a wheel to wheel race with them. They didn't really get *that* hard in my experience, either.

For that price, and if it were summertime, shit yes I'd daily those. But in the middle of winter, I just don't know.

you'd be an idiot to drive on them in the winter, unless you live in the south.

huh.
i really don't know shit about tires except for sizing.
i need a good DD tire that will last a good length of time, but still provide a good amount of performance.
some people have told me to go with falken azenis but i really have no idea.

I'd be willing to bet these will outperform the falken's in every category, including streetability, treadwear, and wet traction.

Not long. I got less than 10k out of my Kumhos, and the Toyos are softer.

mine lasted WAY longer than 10k..

They're strictly racing tires, no good for daily street use.

not true at all, they work great as a summer tire, especially at $80 a peice..

[10Toes]

Wow, that seems like a screamin deal! Is this a reputable site?

I got mine last month from them with no problems.

[Eurospec]

Wow, that seems like a screamin deal! Is this a reputable site?

Sure seems like it. They have a storefront in Cerritos, CA.

Wow, that seems like a screamin deal! Is this a reputable site?

Anything in the proper wheel size(16") is not really a savings lol. Thanks for the link though, I am getting my BFG KDW2 from there. 16.00 cheaper form them!

[acolella76]

I have a set of these on my 15x7 BBSs. Use them strictly for the track and autocross, and I fucking love the shit out of them. About to buy some more :)

[priapism]

Problem with running R comps on the street is they get heat cycled so many times they turn rock hard.

[M.KINNA]

347.00 picked up at main warehouse

[325ix]

I don't even have wheels to put them on but I feel like I should buy them...

I was thinking the same thing. I wonder, how long is the sale is going on for?

[Emre]

But in the middle of winter, I just don't know.

Obviously you'd never run them in the winter in Oregon. But in dry, hot, and sunny SoCal they'll be just fine.

Like all R-comps, they're going to give you a harsher ride and make more noise than regular street tires. But most people driving modded E30's won't mind.
