Very good idea, will help my tyre decision soon. Did notice the toyo r888s are not on the list and are the ones im thinking of getting. Some say there good, some say there bad in wet, just need to know considering our weather here, yet look the part and do well in dry

 

 

You would be plain MAD to use these on a road car in the winter. Even as DOT stamped road legal track tyres go they are dire in the wet and especially standing water. A Michelin Pilot Sport Cup is far better in the wet as a specialist track tyre that's DOT legal. For a car that's just used to drive to track days in the summer I would say they are fine, but not as a UK winter tyre for use on the road. I'd say they stood a good chance of being cited in a court case if you ran someone over on a wet road, even if it was their fault.

NOT doubting your judgement as a few have said how these are poor in the wet but why would they put these tyres on standard cars? like the megan sport i think it is? if they will be used all weather?

 

Genuinely good question - especially with Renault's emphasis on safety.

thats whats making me think they cant be that bad.

 

ive spoke to a few thats used them and they say its a bit slippy in wet but isnt most tyres? i no i always go extra careful when it rains, dont trust a tyre so i can hit corners at speed when wet any how!

 

i imagion its like running budgets just with great performace when dry

see from the things ive heard, people who have tried these on there supras have had negative feedback in comparison to r888s :shrug:

 

i would like to test these things but they dont do many sizes in 17s so far as i can tell :(

Toyo Proxy -1 because they are not a true performance tyre and the side walls aren't stiff enough, this is why they have a decent wear rating. As told to me by Andy Walsh when commenting that he could feel that I had different tyres on the front and back while going quickly round corners. Fronts were Eagle F1's.

not 100% but found this and looks like the fronts and backs are different. didnt thinnk about this before.

 

have 888s for the back for getting the power down but then a good performing wet tyre for the front.

 

the size difference in that link looks huge, almost as if its a couple inches bigger rim at the back?

but in the wet doesnt matter what front tyre you have, the power is still going to the rear and it can easily step out.

When we came back from the anglesey track day it was hammering it down and you realy felt how unsettled the rear was. Far to twitchy for my liking. For dry use i dont see a problem but wet and cold weather for me a big nono

I'm using F1 fronts and R888 rears. Works well on the road for me.

but the front does the steering?

 

mayb its a wet driving style that has to be developed? i hear what your saying but if more care was taken round corners and not put power down knowing you dont have great wet gripping tyres? or do you mean just going straight it was twitchy?

 

i once had budgets and on a corner the fronts slid out and wouldnt steer and i was only going slow, scared the sh!t out of me

 

F1 front and r888 rear sounds a good set up

that was going in a straight with slight crosswinds in overtaking situations due to slow moving traffic

 

Totaly understand where your coming from though, a wet driving style has to be worked on. Just after feeling how lose the back end was it didnt inspire much confidence but that could of been down to the fact the tyres were pretty worn

Highly recommend them, drove up to Milton Keynes on Saturday & Yesterday.... Saturday it rained so much on the M1 near M25 people were doing roughly 30/40 mph. I was doing 40mph with the wiper on the fastest setting & I was impressed.

I added a +1 for Eagle GSD3 and Michelin Pilot sport 2's, but I noticed that Michelin is missing from Abz that was in Wilson 4347... so I added it but I think the figures are off again

 

This is going wrong .. again

how has the r888s gone from 4 to now 2?

 

i wonder if your experience with them is the same as the other people that have rated them? quite concerning if it twitches going straight!

 

like i said mate, it was extremely wet, the tyres were worn, at most 2mm left (bare in mind r888s have 5mm brand new)

we had bit of he same in germany driving to the ring, had to slow down a bit as it was like driving on marbles but that was with 888s front and rear

F1 front and r888 rear sounds a good set up

 

Sounds like a recipe for putting it backwards off the road to me :)
