Ok, so, as I reach a point that i am looking at tires, i am debating on what to get.
I won't be driving the car in the cold, so, summer performance is the best choice. Also, Rain is not much of a factor where I live. I am looking for the best performing tire for street/autocross use. As I don't drive that much, getting a tire that will only survive 20k miles is quite all right. What do you use? feed back please. my tire size is 17, Front 240/40 17 rear 255 or 265/40 17 thank you in advance! |

FWIW,
888's were our spec tire for racing when Toyo was going to discontinue the RA1's. Miserable tire on light weight cars. The 944 spec weighs about 2290 wet, 888's were significantly slower than the RA1's. They wear like iron. I couldn't kill the one set I was stuck with and eventually just through them away before they corded or heat cycled. The 888's are supposedly better for heavier cars but you will not be able to get enough heat into them with a 914. If you can get a proper size, the RA1 or RR (which is the bomb) would be much nicer. |
