Toyo R888
Am looking at fitting a set of the R888's
Would the 225/40/18's be ok for a classic (with P1 18" wheels, car is a 1993 WRX.)
I currently have 215/35/18 T1R's. I know they won't last as long, but has anyone else fitted a set of the R888 and got any good/bad views on them?

Not a good idea to run a list 1b tyre on the road Gary, they won't come up to temperature, won't last long, will tramline and will be a bitch in greasy conditions. Get a second set of rims and use them on track days.

You would suffer badly in the wet, mainly because there is no where the water can go (no grooves in the tyre).
If you want a semi slick for the road then go for the Bridgestone RE070's though you can only get them in 225/45/17 in the uk for now (there is a 235/45/17 and a 235/40/18 available in japan).

Agree with this, these are not really a road tyre, they are a track tyre.

but they were low anyway, on normal driving your looking at about (on average) 10-12k miles, can be longer or shorter depending on your driving style and road types you drive on Tony
