Getting hold of R888's

[Dan7357]

I have tried the normal places (camskill/simply tyres....etc...) but can't seem to get hold of any 285/30/18's.

Anyone know anywhere else I could try ?

[JonRB]

blackcircles.com list the R888 as a tyre option for my Corrado, so may be worth a look.

Have you confirmed on the Toyo website that Toyo actually make the R888 in that size?

Edit: I just checked for you and they do. So ignore that 2nd line.

I have tried them.. And this will be my 5th set so I know they make that size.

They are from the rear of my MK1 GT3.

Event Tyres?

Give Launer a ring at Tiger Racing - 01733 271131

They deal direct with Toyo. If they do that size she can source them.

Are GT3's not better on Pilot Sport Cups? I bet PSC's would be much better stocked in 18's too as that is more the wheel size/weight of car they are aimed at.

An endless debate

The concensus is that Cups are better, but the price/performance balance still makes R888s attractive.

I have called Toyo UK and they don't have any in stock, so its just the case of finding a tyre centre who has some.

Bracknell are no longer allowed to sell R888's ??

Thanks so far guys, but no joy as yet.
