Toyo R888's

[tommo9375]

Are toyo R888's okay to use on the road in winter time or are they better for track use only -thinking of putting some on my bugeye ,any advice appreciated.

There not really rated for winter use tommo, I think they even come with a warning not too be used in cold/winter conditions nowadays

[tommo9375]

That's a pity found a second hand set -never used for a bargain price

R888's + wet + empty car park + video camera...... Or is that too irresponsible?

[tommo9375]

Might get them anyway and keep them for next year.

if you dont want them give me the info i will swipe them up

If theyre a good price then buy them.

There are plenty cars out there that run R888's in winter, you just have to remember your sitting on semi slicks.

Are they 17's or 18's?

Same as any tyres then, thats them just covering their a***'s so people can't claim their money back if they do crack

No good to me then, hav you bought them yet? haha

used toyo R888 on a wet sprint sprint track, found them fine, better than a normal road tyre
