What?
I recently picked up a set of Toyo R888 for about 1k shipped.

Street Driving
Pros:- Traction is other worldly.
- I can slow the rotation of the earth with braking.
Cons:- Brakes locked up in the rain @ 40 mph.
- Treadwear = 100
- These tires are LOUD. It sounds like I'm always being followed by a fire engine who's siren is winding down.
================================================== ========
Track Driving
Notes: These tires like a LOT of pressure. When i say a lot, i mean they were rolling the sidewalls @ 40 psi HOT.
Upped to 45 psi HOT, and got better wear an less folding over.
These tires are still very capable of under-steer, with my "braking and turning at the same time". I am admittedly very hard on my front tires.
Repeat to self... Brake first THEN turn.
Cons:- Fuel starvation is now more prevalent because i am achieving higher lateral G's.
