Gaz6002 Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 Cheers Jamie. Luckily mine is stored in a heated garage but I need some new ones soon anyway. Bloody things grip like hell but last about 5 mins with my driving Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazboy Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 I don't mean to sound rude but I assumed it was obvious R compounds have a limited heat range??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirk Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 hmmm suppose i better pull mine indoors then... wouldnt like that happening come new year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilicos Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 same here didnt think it would happen thought all tyres could withstand most conditions but as they say you never stop learning. Don't forget that R888s are track tyres and are only just road legal. These are not your usual tyres and as such require special handling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbeh Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 I think its good advice to check your tyres for cracks generally, but as Toyo are specifcally saying these tyres in particular are prone to damage, then best read up! thanks for the post.

dr_blackman Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 My mr2 has been sat on the drive a month or so and not been stored in the garage lately. So I best check my r888's before driving it next I've only used it a few times since my track day back in April lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kill1308 Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 Yeah same reason I've not put the same tyres back on mine over the winter months, I've put Eagle F1's on for the Winter and will go back to some soft tyres for the warmer weather.

Guest argy911 Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 toyo t51 radials . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz6002 Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 toyo t51 radials . Do you mean T1-R? Because that's Toyo's all-weather tyre. Similar to the Goodyear F1, but not quite the quality (IMO). They will be fine over winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
