Toyo R888 rear tyres

After a pair of R888 235/50 R15 tyres.

I think Lee has some.
I do too, but they are on my race whhels for sprinting.
I might sell them, as 'used' in the autumn.
If you want new, you can go to Camskill and make a request.

Mine sold .
Camskills ,but I don't think they list the 235 ? I can chase up the guy that sourced mine a while back .

Are you allowed to run these now for sprint then Simon ?

R888s tyres are classed as type 1B, which means 'sticky'.
In the past, only modified, special, sports libre and open wheeled cars were allowed to run 1B type tyres.
Last year, the MSA allowed Roadgoing cars to use type 1B too.
My car is classed as roadgoing.
2011, is the same as last year, so I am using them again.
But there is a rumour that they will not allow sticky type 1B tyres for 2012 at a local level.

Is that clear, because there are a lot of confused racers out there.

Paul, Toyo Proxies T1 tyres have 8mm tread when new.
Toyo R888s cost nearly twice as mush and only have 5mm tread when new.
Just so you know.

R888 are due the chop in 2012 anyway .EU regs that they can't be arsed to try and pass .I expect a new range out soon .

Thanks for the info.
I'm not planning to use the car in competition, just want a pair of tyres to use for the summer.
I have a set on at the moment (255/45 15) that I bought from Stephen. I have just refurb another pair of rear alloys that I want to put the Toyos on for the summer.

I dont use the car half as much as I use to (was my daily drive) so not too bothered about the reduced tread depth.

I'll try Camskills and see what they can offer.

Cheers
Paul

no Camskills out of stock.

Stephen, can you assist ?
By the way, I have PM you re. suspension box etc., I would like to tackle this during Spring.

Cheers
Paul

Paul, if you find some let me know, i need to replace a rear tyre... i caught something on the dual carriageway on my way back from work tonight and there is a cut 3cm wide which apparently cannot be repaired... thanks

Thats bad luck Cedric.
I have asked Stephen, still waiting for an answer !!!!!!!!

I was told Proxy T1R don't come in 235/50/R15?

Only 225 I believe for the T1R but 235 is available in the 888.
Most of the big outfits are out of stock I've heard .Mid March delivery according to Toyo .

| have located four sets and have passed this info on to Cedric and Paul

Thanks Andrew,
I've placed an order for a pair.

Bought and fitted !
