I'm really close on taking the plunge on these tires. Does anyone have a online vendor that they would recommend? Tire Rack doesn't even carry Toyos as I can tell.

Found this online vendor: www.TireDealsforLess.com
Any feedback on this company? Good, bad?

Thanks in advance.

 

Its been mentioned 3X in this thread 2 places where you can purchase the tires. How hard is it to look?

 

how much camber are you running bert?

edit: nevermind saw the -1 posted earlier. thats gonna be tight. if it doesnt work another degree of camber might fix it.

 

Not very...If you're talking about FP and Forgeline I've already tried.

Thanks for your help.

 

You know you could always have them siped and improve the wet traction.

 

if my Z was a literally my daily/everyday driver then there is no way i would use the R888, poor wet traction/standing water performance + the fact they will wear really quickly makes it a poor choice.

 

i hear you
i am hoping Toyo comes with more sizes on their new R1Rs...

 

Thats the thing, I dont want to take 1 step backwards on camber and add stickier tires. Id imagine these at -2 camber hook better than KDW's @ -1 camber.

bootieman-Sharif doesnt sell em? That site didnt work? Those are the only 2 places I read that sell them, I have yet to really look into them.

 

This was from Sharif and I never heard back from Forgeline.

 

Ah IC that sucks

Great video review, I really wanna try the 305's now, but if they dont fit

 

If it helps you in your decision making I think they more than likely the 305 won't fit with your width, offset, and camber.

i am not very well versed with offsets but you can see in the pics i posted a couple of pages back on the 305s i have with my 19/10.5 (26 offsets i think) and i have to cut and pull, so i dont think 305s will fit on your setup with out having to do something on the fender...Rome has his in 295 and they hook pretty good and had to cut his fenders i think...

 

lmao, might have stick with 275's with my 10.5" +4 offset. i think im still gonna try the 295/30/19's, i know now no way in hell the 305's are gonna fit.

 

295/30 is 1" smaller than currently running and .5" smaller than stock, its too short for my setup

 

Just an FYI.

We have been running a 5% off R888 coupon code for a while now: R888

Toyo is currently running a $100 mail-in rebate on a set of four for NASA and SCCA members. If you are not currently a member, a 1 year membership to NASA is only $44, so you could join and use the rebate to save $56.

Good info to know! Thanks for posting that. I have been debating running these in the rear for a few weeks now.

 

excellent new Dave!
