T1-R are very good, P james uses them on II Zero all the time, road and track...and he's fairly quick!
R888s are my fave...ulimate grip for the track and Ok on the road. Don't like the very cold/very wet but fine otherwise. i put a set on a GTF at oulton in the Tuscan Challenge last year, and it was only 1 sec off its Slick race pace! see here http://www.tvrmonster.co.uk/newstoyo.html
So if you use the car on the Track alot...its R888s
If its a road only car occasional track...its T1Rs
either way, excellent tyres and good value.

Ok so like the look of the R888...
However at the moment have 225 35 ZR18 on the front and 255 35 ZR 18 on the rear.
Having looked at the TOYOS it seems that they have 255 35 but not 225 35 they only have 225 40 - what gives?

My 888's are 225x40x18 front, & 245x40x18 rear. I could'nt get away with any wider on the back as they rub under hard cornering.However at the moment have 225 35 ZR18 on the front and 255 35 ZR 18 on the rear.

I've got 225/40/18's on the front and 255/35/18's on the rear, all R888, on spiders with the 42 front/33 rear offsets. The rears do rub the outer arches on hard cornering, but I'm switching to compomotive MO 6's next month and will adjust the offsets of the wheels to cure this. Walking around the PH/Autosport show last weekend it seems the R888 is really 'the tyre' at the moment, so many cars were fitted with them.
I'm on T1-Rs at the moment and they're my second set (not on the cerb). I reckon give maybe 5-10% in ultimate grip to the goodyear F1s (not the asymetricos), but they are so much more communicative and predictable - hence the repeat purchase!
Once the scotish weather sorts itself out a bit and I've had a decent amount of wear out of the current set, I think I'll give the 888s a try (just a little nervous about aquaplaning on motorways trips avec famile).

T1-Rs are excellent, going to have to go with 888's next though.
Same here. I've gone from T1-Ss to T1-Rs and I'm very pleased with Toyos - although when you get down to 3 or 4mm they do start going off rather quickly. The drop in grip is very noticable. I don't do large miles, so it's 888s for me next time.Guillotine said:

Have you been given a date for release? How many miles do you think they will do compared with the 888's?
Hi,
I've only been told "the summer" so its likely to be Sept time. We have access to Motorsport stock, so we should be one of the first to get them.
as far as wear goes, Toyo have always been excellent, its one of their strengths. I would still excpect them to achieve around 4000miles with a trackday or two, or 6000+.
we'll do some comparisons, but they look great...can't wait.
cheers

And there was me thinking the grip of the 888's with the life of a Michelin endurance...I've only been told "the summer" so its likely to be Sept time. We have access to Motorsport stock, so we should be one of the first to get them.
