Anyone running the TOYO 305/ZR19 PXR888 and experiences with 305 on Nismo rims

hazzazi · 09-21-2011, 06:42 PM

hi bird, i don't have the toyo, but i do have Michellin pilot 305's... i would really recommend them, since they give you better grip and overall better driving experience.

also they look a little better.

Reaper, glad to hear about your experience with the toyo. From the post of WWJD, the tire thread life mileage appears to be pretty low. I like the part of effectively getting power to pavement

Hey Hazzazi, thanks for the input man, I keep hearing great things about those from different shops. In all likelihood, those will be my next set of tires. I had a tire blow up on me though I don't have that many miles on it. I'll probably replace both rear prior to planning on having all 4 replaced next.

against the stock tires maybe, the R888 are much faster than the Pilot Sport

Get the RE11s I run them on my nismo and I have full traction when I full throttle in 2nd gear on my low boost setting (450whp). They are very grippy and are superb in the rain.

Not to mention Toyo 888 is friken loudest tire in the world! They sound like 4x4 tires. Re 11 is much better Choice.

FYI I run 315 Hoosiers on my 10.5 width wheels

AD08's?

Just a thought, this is the tire that I am thinking of going with.....

Thanks Jeff, Shamu & One_quick_Z, I'm leaning back towards the Advan for short term and Michelin once I need to refresh all the tires

roy'sz · 10-12-2011, 01:22 AM

did you consider the t1r? I know someone who is on their 2nd set and has gotten almost 40k out of em.

40k that's pretty impressive, no way in Z world I could get anything close to that many miles the way I drive. Never heard before of the T1R Roy, thx for the suggestion
