Toyo 888

[Ade]

joking? 650£ a set of R888 in 19 inch? :smt120

were is that...? I'll take 4 rubber's at that price...

no, R888s they were referring to 18s as on GT3s. Big diff on 18 vs 19 price wise.

The tyres I had wore evenly, and not excessively. Maybe it was the way my car was set up for Spa that helped?? Endurance teams racing professionaly and a Ford Falcon at 1800kgs are not good comparisons for an M3 being used on the odd track day for fun are they???

[jim76]

I agreed with Nathan. Spa as a circuit is one of the most abrasive tracks which I have driven on, because there are a series of very fast downhill anti camber bends ie 100+ mph, this just slaughters the fronts.

I have a friend who did run these tyres on a ford falcon, a very heavy car, 1,800 kgs and the wear was poor particularly on the outer edge. He also complain of aquaplaning and couldn’t kept up with us on cup’s and a lighter car on a motorway ! ! (he since changed back to cups)

“Mark csl” I would be very interested to hear your comments about the tyre after a few track days.

What corners do you reckon an M3 could go through at Spa at over 100 MPH???

I'd guess at Eau Rouge, Poohon (exit), Stavelot, Blanchiment (sweet)

Yeah maybe, which aren't particularly long or hard I wouldn't say in a car like an M3?? I would think sharper turning corners with a bit of lock on would cause more damage to tyres on this type of car? Maybe I'm wrong, just my opinion?

[_Nathan_]

Pouhon is a tyre killer - really long 180 degree left that is exited at 114mph according to my DL1 so about 120 on the clock scrubbing the front right the whole way round. Murders the front right, absolutely kills it.

jim, what set up did you run ? and what lap times were you doing?

[monkeycsl]

I was using KW Clubsport with poly bushes all round, standard CSL brakes with braided hoses and racing fluid. I'm not sure what settings the car was running with as I put the car into a garage to have it set up. The guy who set it up has years of experience and in his words "it'll be brilliant round Spa but not Knockhill!!". I don't know enough about geometry to comment on this side of things!! To be perfectly honest I didn't time myself!! I was just having fun, but was on the case of GT3's and some other funky stuff!! It must have been around the 3 minute mark give or take?? A guess really!! I wasn't nursing the tyres by any means but was very impressed with how they performed, even through a "light" shower, and lasted. I've just sold the M3 and bought a 911 C4S and I've booked for Spa again in June and will be giving the Toyo's another go then, albeit they are a good bit wider on the rear of the Porsche than the M3. I don't do enough track days this weather to merit the cost of the cup's to be honest, and for me the Toyo's provide me with more than adequate grip to have some good fun with!! Many of the guys I know with Porsche seem to prefer the Toyo's, and they do loads of track days at various circuits, and some of these guys are loaded so it's not just about cost!!! Or maybe it is and they just won't admit it!! Lol.
