colin has a pair on his rear, he says he likes them super good warm weather traction. I also heard they are like waterskis in the rain.

Why cut your fenders? Those sizes should fit with no modification...

depends on what offsets he is running. And I couldn't fit a 285 under my stock fenders on 19" x 10.5" wheels with +22 offsets.

I've had mine on for probably less that 1k miles! I have a couple of autox events and a PGP event! I have been driving pretty agressively. They proabably have 70% tread left! They do wear out QUICK!

even though im sponsored by Toyo, i do admit this probably the best tire i have tracked on along with my other team mates as well...

these are amazing for track and the R1R's to me are the best street tires i have used as well

I love my R888's but as others have mentioned, they are not a wet weather tire however the few times that I fave driven on them in the rain I didn't feel that they were dangerous, I would NOT recommend pushing it though.

But, in the dry they are fantastic, I do not drive my car daily, only put about 1000 miles on it in the last 6 months so mine should last forever !!!
