I'm thinking about buying TOYO Proxes R888 is anybody using these tires. I've heard good things about these semi-slick tires and they fit on 19 inch wheels. I have a serious traction problem and don't want to run a drag tire on the street I like to take corners fast. Let me know which you guys think about these tires don't want to spend this much money and not be happy.

 

havent heard much bout them

cant remeber the kinda that mike medina has on his G but remember him saying he got good traction w/ them

 

I don't know anything about those, but stay away from Proxes T1Rs though. I put a set of those on my coupe a few months back and the car felt like a boat instead of a car-very unstable! I got rid of those quickly and replaced them with Kumho Ecsta SPTs. They're the cheapest I've found for a matching set and grip very good, but they're a bit noisy, esp. at low speeds.

 

Whats up mike. I looked into toyos web site. Not many options for 19's. But whats weird is that its a drag radial yet they talk about side wall stability. The bottom line is I think this is a road race tire more than a drag radial. But I will guarantee that when you buy these, they are the type of tire that comes with a tread wear number 0. yeah mike its a hot tire. Let me know bro mike

 

I read a review from Sharif at Forged Performance, he had lots of good things to say about them.

r888 are a road track tire like mike said. good traction straight and turning but you'll burn through them quick if you drive much.

 

No, I got 'em from Edge Racing. Fortunately, their customer service was good and I was able to return them within the 30-day period and get my $$ back.

 

Thanks guys
