Nice car!

 

Agree about the R888s, I am using 265/30/19. Awesome grip, way better than the Michelin Pilot Super Sport I had before - they barely lasted 20000km. The R888 can be noisy though.

I hear there is a new version out or coming soon.

[blow off]

Agree they are noisy but it's always a compromise for the level of grip. To be honest will not put them on the fronts again that's were most of the noise is coming from.

Have sound insulated the entire boot to rear seats which made a huge difference.

 

The revised version (R888R) are a little hard to get atm, more availability in months to come. Review states improved mid-corner grip.

Agree the larger the tyres footprint the better, the next size up will not work, will foal on the inner guards when she squats under load.

Still a lot of tyre not contacting the road.

that's what I said on his other post, but those 275s look pretty close to flush, R888 285 is what im going with after blow off highly recommend the grip levels of the 275s. 

 

285/35/20 is going to rub like a bitch on B series.

haha I remember when I rung previous owner and he recommended I fit R888's.

 

he also said 'everytime I took it out I broke something'

 

you still run nitto invos don't ya arron?

[arronm]

Yep. 285/30/19.  Still spins but grips ok in the wet.

Yeah, sound deadening is a good investment for a street car - one of the first things I did.

 

Still, with the R888's I sometimes have to peer over my shoulder and make sure Valentino Rossi is not in my blind spot!

 

I use Goodyear eagle F1A2's on the front. Really good grip, sticks in the wet. Feels like its shortened my braking distance as well, actually feels better than new rotors and pads for stopping.

I have streched 295s atm mate with 10mm to the strut and 15ish mm to the gaurd and roughly 25mm of hight left, being a ute not lowered helps.

I run a 295/30R18 on my ute on a 10inch rim and they stick really well.
