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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. http://toyotires.com.au/tyres/motorsport-tyres/item/1250-proxes-r888r 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.
