cups or 888

[shane@mbtech]

pilot sport cups or toyo 888, which are better,
opinions please, also best place to get cups?

Had 888 on 'other' cars I've owned but not on the CSL and found them OK. Think Yoko A048's are better but both very good with fantastic grip.

Don't think you will find many on 888 as I lead to believe they don't make any in size to fit the front wheels. Thats what CSL specialist Simpsons told me last week. Thet also said customers, who had them on different wheels for their CSL, said they didn't last. but Daz will be along to confirm as he has them and is very pleased with them. I would have a set if they did sizes to fit.

Are they better than cups...def cheaper....but the thing with the Cup tyres is that they were designed for the CSL so are probably the better choice.

Best place to get Cups...group buy on here eventualy...get your name down.. :thumbs:

do they do pirelli corsa system in CSL sizes coz i they did i might buy some for road use and occassional damp tracks

dont rate 888 on M3 on track coz of weight and 888 goes off very quickly

I think one of Marks friends is having a set, think its Gaz above but as he says good if you use the car in wet/dry days but cups for tracks and dry days no question!

Had them on my evo tho and crap in any standing water but the cups would be also! :-D

Its the Toyo TR1R's road tyres ive got not the 888 , happy with those , and cups for me when warmer and track days :thumbs:

i found the 17" 888 on my evo to go off quickly, but the 18" 888 seemed not to and i was running sub 2 min laps at oulton on them.

think ill run on the cups when i get mine all year round, dont do enough mileage over winter etc to warrant change,

Sorry for the thread crash.

What size tyres are needed for both front and back? For standard CSL wheels

And where is the cheapest place to get Cups?

[SMD]

235/35/19 front
265/30/19 rear

we are trying to sort cheap cups at the min in the group buy! Get your name down if you want a set! :thumbs:

[Andyk]

888 are very good but were designed for light weight track cars...Caterham/Lotus etc so the CSL will probably eat them as you say.

Didn't realise Daz you had TR1R...they are a fine looking tyre.
