Who runs toyo r888s? What psi are you at? Any feedback from them on the z vs. A different tire?

I went threw a couple set's of r888's. Im running the Toyo TQ now. Its the radial version of a R888. Basically same compound but with a softer side wall. I have alot better time with traction using the Tq's

I run the toyo r888 and I run 24psi daily... They do a good job and when paired with ecutek traction control they make a huge difference!!!

Fantastic tire, ran it on my build, light years better grip than the PSS, half the lifespan, great in a corner. Noisy as hell, buzzes at mid low speeds. I will likely use the nt01 for my next build. Same tire, depends on who you ask, but reports are its just better all around, still noisy, slightly worse in the rain.

I was using the 325/30/19 BTW.

They were my first set of track tires. I ran 275/40r18 square and loved them. Got a little over a season out of them including 8 autocross events, 3 track days, and maybe 2-3000 miles daily driving. I switched to NT01a this year which have been great as well, but recently purchased 295/30r19 r888s for the stock Rays for next race season once my NT01s are shot. Cornering is amazing. Once they're warm they stick like crazy.
