Having tried and tried to get a toyo r888 in a 345 rear width here in the UK for months I've found the only way is to import then from the USA oddly. So I'm putting in an order for a few sets so if anyone wants to get a set then let me know in next few days so I can add to the order save us all a bit on postage.

Well I tried Northants but got no call back so I assume no luck there. I'll get on the phone to some of the tyre guys in USA and see what's available. What rear size exactly is it u want Mark 345-30-18?

Appreciated, I was thinking to use the r888 for my road trip to spa and Le man's. But I might have a support car that can carry my slicks so I don't have to get another set of tyres. The road tyres are decent enough for a road trip but they just don't give you the needed grip for track. I could feel them giving up in the tight corners at Bedford, and I have a wager to win at spa against a mate and his huracan.

Mines a gen 4 acr so not as impressive as the new gen 5 acr. But I have fitted the full bellanger exhaust and mopar pcm so I should have identical if not a little more power than the gen 5 acr. And on slicks I should be as fast or faster really so hoping it is just driver vs driver without the huracan having the edge.
