Currently hunting for some tyres for my track/summer wheels

I have £900 budget to spend,

Looking at R888 or Ad08 problem is I currently have 235/40/18 and they only make then in 225 or 245 what size would be my best option on pff7 8j rim

Many thanks Dan

 

got a slight update on this

turns out yokohama do make the AD08 in a 235/40/18 but should i go for the original size or try a smaller 225 just dont want to spend £800 and wish i had got the other size

Cheers

Can say personally R888 are great tyres,but if you are looking used them on daily basis,I wouldn't,only just due treadwear and they will not last 10k miles and not the best in the wet

We are used them only for track days and drags and they're works perfectly,but for this money you have few other option and mainly from next year they will be not for road use anymore(I think from Nov is new law and they will be NOT E marked anymore,just due noise and wet etc.)

Thanks Jura! As they are only my summer wheels I would be lucky to do 3k miles a year in them but this law you talk about that's ridiculous IMO! I'll have to stock up on them then all mine will have the e mark aha

 

just to update everybody on this, i have just placed an order for R888 i know maby not the best reason but i like the tread pattern best, as im only going to be driving 3k a year if that on them the low tread level should be fine for me for a few years

Thanks for all the advice though

 

I have to say I loved mine, but £1000+ a set now is a bit fierce...

Best road tyre I've ever used, they made RE-070's feel like concrete on mine.

Enjoy !

dunx

P.S. Once down to 1.6mm it's track use only now...

 

I love my RE070 but they don't make them in a 235 40 18 otherwise I would know exactly what I would be buying! Got to order a set for my 17s 2 are getting low

 

Ive got a part worn set of 225/40/18 Toyo R888`s in my garage i was going to use for track wheels but might sell them on now as i have other plans, Anyone know what the going rate for them is?

 

I might have them off you if there is still road legal tread
