Toyo R888

[CanAm Dave]

Hi All

Has anyone fitted Toyo R888 tyres to there Ultima yet. They do our size for the rear 335/30R18 but not a 245/35R18 for the front. If you have fitted them what size did you fit on the front? All the ones they do that would fit the front have a greater radius than a 245/35R18!

Since my last dyno session ate my tyres I am looking for new options. I am doing a couple of trips into Europe this summer but also plan on some trackdays a visit to the dragstrip and Vmax.

Hi Dave

Roll on March / April when the dragstrips are open to R.W.Y.B. (and our Ultima head to head !!). Have you got the TC working yet ?

Also, do you know when the next vmax run is ? I can never find the details on the site, just the results after the event. I don't have the 'box for more than 180 or so but getting there is a great rush. What box / ratios have you got in the yellow missile ? Would be great to see you top 200 and you should do with all that power Am more than happy to video you from the passenger seat !

Kyle, how is the engine installation coming along ? Been trying to get over to you but been held back by various factors ...

Hi Tony

I'm busy working on the hardtop at the moment but I will get around to the traction control sometime soon. I have a new gearbox on the way from California Motorsports. It is a G96/50 and 6th will give me 222mph at 6500rpm. As for the next Vmax keep an eye on the Vmax forum in the "gassing station". I'll be waiting for the late spring/summer one before I go along.

Has nobody fitted these Toyo R888s to an Ultima then?

Thanks for the info Mike.

I hope to do a tial fit of a 255/35R18 as it has a smaller radius than the 225/40R18. It could cause issues elsewhere so I just want to trial fit it and see.
