Slicknick Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 Looking for some suitable tyres to fit stock 17's (255/40/17) for a bit of fun at Santa Pod to get my 60ft times down. I was thinking of going down the toyo R888 route but its quite a chunk of money for use every now and then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Littler Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 See if you can get some Mickey Thompson ET Street radials as they are available in 275 40 17, which would fit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westy Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 I would fit 275/40 17 mate. The cost for decent tyres will be similar to the R888...personally I would go with Mickey Thompson ET Streets....I have these fitted on my Volks (18 fronts/17 rears) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Littler Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 I got a quote from Webster race engineering for £204 each a month or so ago which I didn't think was bad so I would try them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Littler Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 Yeah that's not bad, are you thinking of going down the same route? I was but since then sold my Uk stock wheels and got some stock 16" rears and jspec rear brakes so I will be looking at getting some MT's in the right sizes for them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaz6002 Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 R888s aren't for drag racing. They're designed for circuit racing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slicknick Posted April 4, 2012 Author Share Posted April 4, 2012 R888s aren't for drag racing. They're designed for circuit racing. Yeah i know, but I figured they would still offer much more grip than normal road tyres if i couldn't find any drag radials. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
