Pascal,

I am not thrilled with them but needed something cheap to throw onto the wheels and for less than $400 for all four tires, it is a temporary solution. Toyo R888's are on the books for June. Don't put the tires on Mike and his company, that was me.

I understand...
I kicked myself for not researching about those before buying.
They were shot in no time and they don't stick anyway.

I hear Toyos aren't that great, according to my tire guy

I'm running Yokohama right now. I'm happy with those.

LOL - I have a buddy running the R888's on his '06 and he loves them. We went out last week and I got a chance to play around with them and was suitably impressed. Very predictable, good feedback and hook-up coming out of the corners consistantly. I have played with the Falken's as well, but can honestly say I like the Toyo's better. I am waiting for someone local to pick up the new Nitto's, but until then I will probably keep looking at the R888's for a summer tire. Obviously during the OR winter, they have to come off LOL.


If I can ask, which Yoko's are you running?
