Innnteresting thought...

I have Summer wheels 305 on 11", wasn't sure how wide the R888 ran.

Weird tho, no 305 for the Toyo's.

Yeah, I tried to get 305's and they were not available so I ended up with 295's. I order r888r's in 315 and they have been on back order since August and I have no idea when they will be available. I lucked out an got a set of used Nitto's nt01 in 315 and they are awesome. I can feel difference in the sideways and responsiveness. Toyo claims the r888r will be the same width as the nt01's and the tire compound is supposed to be the same or very close to the same.

Interesting tire options for R-comp tires in 18" size.

Wanted 265/305, but maybe getting 275/315...

DECISIONS!!!

p.s. updated master parts thread with new buys.

No they are not making them anymore. The R888 are being replaced by R888R and the R888R does not come if 305.
