Hello to all MLOC & Zth members ,

i am using R1R, superb in wet & dry condition...nothing can complain so far....
not so noisy and not too hard for my liking...

what are the prices like?

 

[lan evo]

r888 semi slick

r1r not semi slick

r1r more on street race use,r888 more on track driving

r1r wear much much more faster then advan neova ad07,sidewall very hard

r1r dry grip better then advan neova ad07.but less grip compare to r888

r888 wear faster then r1r

r1r wet grip better than advan neova but still not good enough in wet.(dun drive fast in wet)

r888 aquaplanning more serious then r1r in wet.

if u can tolerate the tyre wear fast then go for r888.semi slick always better then street radial in dry

dun shoot me,just telling wat i experience

hi...im not a evo owner but im a toyo user...i hav been use T1R,R888,CT01,R1R

R888 is semi slick tire...compare in dry condition wit R1R...R888 is a super grib on the road...but when the tire until 40% left...it is worst in the wet condition...so if u r concern in normal use i wil recommend R1R or T1R...

I think i will go for R888 since i realli seldom use my car and i do not drive fast in raining. Just sometimes go in for track and street race. And its ok for me if the tyre wear fast .

Thanks for all de detail comment for all de members here giving me .

Hi all,

since we're on this topic of Toyo tires, is it true that Toyo tires are wider than the specified measurement?

Check out this thread
http://www.good-win-racing.com/mazda-talk/viewtopic.php?t=932

According to the thread, they compared a 205/50/15 Falken Azenis and 205/50/15 Toyo R1R
side by side, and the R1R was physically wider than the Azenis

Anybody ever run into this before?

 

[Jackal]

yes, there r wider than other tires... for my 195 tire put beside wif 205 it look almost same wide

 

[syong888]

R888, value for money...

no wonder my 195 t1r looks badass....
