tell me more Gaz, anything you can tell really , what size? when you make traction? etc

 

I didn't want mental width at the back of my car. I'm only running 265s because TBH I like how it drives in that spec. However, once you get some heat into them the Vreds out-class every 'normal' tyre I've tried (four years running a single turbo Supra, over 50,000 miles - but pretty hard miles, I take no prisoners lol).

 

Obviously the R888s are better in the dry as they're a much softer compound with a more aggressive tread pattern, but in the wet I don't think even the Goodyear F1 GSD3 performed quite as well. In the dry the Vreds are easily on par, if not better, than the Toyo T1-R and Goodyear F1. They grip like hell both laterally and on acceleration, and I can usually use most of third once they're warm; which not a lot of single turbo owners can boast (I have 510lb/ft torque).

 

I got a special deal from Camskill, but I'd pay full price next time as on top of everything I've said, I've done a few day's worth of extra-hard driving on them and they're wearing well too.

 

Overall I'm pretty happy :)
