The tread width is only 11.1 in. The 325 tread width is 11.9. R888r 325/30/19 tread width is 12.4 in. Them are some wide tires. LOL

12.4” that’s some serious meat

I’m still running the S04’s from before I went turbo. Seriously modding the car was not the plan when I bought them. The turbo direction was a spur of the moment rabbit hole I fell into after an enormous Christmas bonus one year that I didn’t have anything better to do with.

Now I’m just trying to shreds thru them so I can get something with more grip. I’ve been thinking R888’s too but not certain I want to run a R compound on the street.

R888's are the only ones that will stick when warm. If you get them from Tirerack, make sure you pay the extra 15 dollars per tire to have them heat cycled. I may try them and see how they do. Not sure. They will take as low as 15 deg F. outdoors before you have any cracking issues. Better than the other R compound tires.

I know the song, but no, no one is. I'm hoping it's just cedar that has my head hurting and not illness.

Made it to the hotel without killin'anyone.

Seen a GTR. Every body panel had at least one dent maybe two. Blowing smoke out of the pipes. Bumpers was a flappin'. Headlights were pointing in different directions.

888’s won’t last on the street.
007’s will probably be your best bet; beings you drive on summer tires year round.
Run flat Michelin A/S’s would be really your best dd tires,,,if you plan on really dd’ing it...also the extra weight of the run flat,may help with the multiplied “Horsepower”
