is anyone here running r888 tyres all year round? (or at all)

i have yoko prada spec 2's on my 18s but may be putting some 17s (bullets) back on soon that ive just had powder coated black, was planning to use r888 just for silly grip

just really wanted to know what they are like noe the weathers gone crap on use

ta

luke

personally I would'nt even entertain it

Might be ok if you didn't actually want to drive the car?

I have Yoko' Prada Spec 2's and I've noticed a lack of grip in the last few days due to the cold, the Toyo R888's would be even worse! Not a good idea mate!

P.

Im struggling to keep me loan cars 18" Pirelli's under control even in the dry :o :p

Don't you actually need to get into a car before you can drive it? :puzzled:

Would you shut up :p It was bad enough last night, how many times in one night can you take the micky out of my not being able to get in/out of the car :o :p

And besides the loan car doesnt mess me about!

This is the problem with all summer tyres, be it normal tyres or runflats. They don't grip as well when the temperature goes below 7 degrees.

i really wouldnt run r888's in this welsh weather!

I wouldn't run r888's in the wet let alone winter

winter has naff all to do with it, they are fine as long as its dry when its wet be it summer or winter there equally as useless, speak to the lotus guys who run them and the yoko versions all year, the soft compound helps in the winter when its dry

but they are not ment for everyday road use on a mini all year round, they are an R compound track tyre and should be though of as such, part of the issue of running them in winter is the fact the stock suspension on the mini cannot make use of them
