Toyo's on a 993rs?
Discussion
The Dunlop super sport race many of us were running around with a couple of years ago were perhaps the best compromise, cheap too.....it's all a compromise by the very nature of what you expect of a tyre.
with respect to the 888's, due to stiffer sidewall need to run at slightly higher pressures that other track tyres...try 33/34 front & 36/37 rear, set when hot...play around from there.

SY,,,sorry to mislead you but the Dunlop SSR are no longer produced, they came over on a container a few years ago and that was that, basically a wet weather trackday tyre...£99 a corner too!!!
Now running Toyos 888,,,and Dunlop D01J's... D01J now replaced by DZ02G, which are a worthy competitor to the 888, certainly wouldn't pay more for the Dunlops than the Toyos though.

not sure if I'd want to be on r888's in the wet 
why not bolt on a nice set of Bridgestones S03's (can't get S02's anymore) but I think you'll find that they are widely respected as the best set of boots you can stick on a 911
You can still get SO2's. I had one fitted a few weeks ago in London. the garage ordered pm, it was delivered next day, am.why not bolt on a nice set of Bridgestones S03's (can't get S02's anymore) but I think you'll find that they are widely respected as the best set of boots you can stick on a 911

Yes you can. I have a nice new set of SO2A's (the original verions, not so2) on my carwhy not bolt on a nice set of Bridgestones S03's (can't get S02's anymore) but I think you'll find that they are widely respected as the best set of boots you can stick on a 911
I had a set of Toyos fitted to my RS and went to the Ring with them. They are pretty good in the wet compared to some others although standing water can be a problem. I used 32F 36R warm and seemed to work fine. At nearly half the cost of the other makes who can complaint!
BTW, in the dry, the grip is just amazing! The down side is the road noise, but with the RS it's so damn noisy anyway so you'd probably not notice, if you do, you can always change to a louder exhaust!

I had a set of SO2As on my Boxster when I couldn't get SO2s and they were nowhere near as good as the old SO2. I think it is the lack of a centre groove that gave the SO2 such excellent stability at speed, that's why I'm probably going to give Proxies a go next time.
I'm fitting new shocks, bushes, ball joints, the lot over winter.... I know it's perfectly possible for a plane to get airborne at 140, but it's not a trait I find desirable in a car Gassing Station | Porsche General | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
