I'm in need of new rear rubber running 265 -35 -18 and around 500 bhp (small single) . i have pilot sport on there at the moment and there crap for grip! Any other suggestions welcome.

Toyo R888?

 

Pilot Sport are probably the best available. Have you tried a geo setup? Something may be amiss.

V similar in appearence to Toyo R888s. Assuming the compound, etc is similar enough for a direct comparison, then ace (and I do mean ace) in the dry and scary as f*ck in the wet! But I'd only be guessing...

if you've got 500bhp it will be scary as hell in the wet no matter what tyres you got lol

Try getting the Geo setup done first. If that's spot on, R888s work really well on a small single, even in mildly wet conditions (Standing water can be fun though! )

Pilot Sport CUP is the daddy if you don't want semi-slicks like 888's.

cant find them in my size mate !

GoodYear Eagle F1 are the only tyre I use, awesome in appearance, road noise and grip especially in the wet

[Kranz]

Seeing as Black Circles sell the Toyo R888 for £165.99 plus delivery I'd go for the Toyo's as they are tried and tested

Doesn't mean they don't exist buddy:

If you're still not convinced, you could try the Toyo T1R - their premium sports tyres, without going semi-slick again. Very happy with mine.

I had pilot sports on my N/A and with a similar level of tread left they were awfull. Not surprised your having trouble with 500BHP

Had Federals on my Calibra Turbo(working 4 wheel drive)Good grip,but wore pretty quick.

You won`t beat r888`s for dry grip and value for ££, they`re abit noisy at speed though.

Not at £300 a cornor .think ill just stick with the 888

TRD diff, -1.5 degrees camber 1mm toe in total, Bridgeatone Re050A (275 is better) and you have lots of grip in the wet. Works fine for me @ 676BHP.
