R888's are nice from what I hear but shitty sizes and you really need to warm 'em up a good bit before they get good. Again that's just what I've heard/read.


Maybe try the Nitto Invo's since they have a pretty large contact patch.

IDk how well the new Nitto's in a 275 work compared to ther tires, but there is a review here where someone with your power range is using a 275 and hooking up in second.

dont need to warm them up to be good, better warm but what tires arent? i run 255/35/19 T1R's in the front and 305/30/19's R888 in the rear and it feels perfect to me.

Thats a good combo... I run the Kuhmo XS's in the rear 285/35 - which were almost as wide as my 295-30 ps2's but with ~ 30% better traction. In the front I got PS2's but will eventually swap those out for a pair of thos NT05's...

i personally have 295/35 BFG T/A KDW on my car on stock suspension and havent had any rubbing problems. The only difference is that I'm on 18's. But when I was getting the wheels put back on, there was still plenty of clearance so you should be fine with 295/35/19 on your car.

Hey Nexx if i cant find someone to roll my fenders will i be able to run 255/35/19 in the T1r's Front and 295/30/19 in the rear with the R888? or will i have to reduce the front tires also? and Anyone know of any shops that can beat the prices i have found at 1010tires.com? Cheepest i found for the 295/30/19 R888 Was $375.00 and for the TR1's 255/35/19 was $289.00

if you have tcs or vdc, you'll need to go with 245's in the front to keep them happy. i have my fenders rolled.
