The spec Boxster group that I will run with this year is about to name the Toyo R888 as the spec tire, mostly because of a contingency fund that Toyo is putting up. No one has run the tire and they are relying on it performing like the RA1's that the spec 944 class uses. Has anyone used the R888's and have an opinion on them?

We've had R888s for quite a while downunder. Some personal impressions compared to RA1s - I run 225x16x7s all round
R888s are VERY predictable - much more so than RA1 IMHO. Whereas the RA1s work best shaved, the R888s have a much bigger tread block and don't seem to require shaving. I found the optimum pressure for RA1s to be ~37lb hot, the R888s seem to be happier with less - e.g. ~32lb hot. Wear characteristics seem to be as good or better than RA1. Cheers, Mark |
