GT3 Geo for Toyo R888's

[andy tims]

Firstly sorry if this has been covered before, but I tried a search.

I finally got some Toyo R888's fitted after running with Dunlop SSR's on track since getting the car nearly 2 years ago.
I have heard that they need less negative camber than some other R compound tyres to work well. So has anybody altered their geo to suit the tyres & if so can you advise what you went for & how it's working out?

thanks

Speak to Steve McHale at JZM. He did my MK1 set up for R888's and indeed he reduced the amount of negative camber. You probably already know but you need higher pressures for the Toyo's than say MPSCs or COrsa's. I run 35 front, 39 rear hot.

Yeah I know Andy - Buy some MPSC you tight arse LOL.

The R888's need just as much camber as dunlops or PS cups. There was some talk of needing less when they were first used but now that we have the tyre pressures sorted (34/35 front 39/40 rear all hot) they do need the same amount of negative camber.

This says it all Andy. Just jump in, turn the key and carry on as before.... all you have to worry about is staying on the black stuff!
