Interesting, I was gonna get the R2's but they are sold out. So I got the R888r. I have 715 crank torque. So about 650ish to wheel. I think ill be better that my PS 4 All seasons though. Lol. I ran slower times than I did stock on the same tires. So hopefully I can make use of 500whp.
Do you run them all around of just the back? I’m about to get my ZL1 to 850whp and I’m going with this tires not sure if to run them all around or just the back.
Thanks for this video,just got a 14 GT500 and has a brand new goodyear F1 tires on it, still not the best after a good warm up,I am looking for a good summer tire and so far this is the one performing best...if anyone had better experience with other brand please let me know I will appreciate it... Thanks
Well I was hunting tires for a vette. This video seals the deal on which tires. Now to figure out what sizes to run. 18” 10.5 wide wheel. So maybe a 315/35/18 for the back?
Just depends. Power level. Temperature that day. Road type and condition. They are awsome tires regardless. My car hits hard and 18psi in the tires holds the car all day long
@@kalebspecht8211 I've seen someone claiming noise and you could hear on video but was r888 not r888r. You could even gamble away from the eleged noise with Mt or nitto but will not perform in corners.
I dont know if it is legal in Europe I do not see why it would not be. You can put r888r on just about anything. Just depends what your wheel size is and how it sits on your car fitment wise. Just Google Datsun 240z on r888r to gauge what has worked for people.
@@camonly849 I don't have traction issues at 25 psi had dropped them that low till recent race video with some higher power cars. But my buddy has a c6z says my car hits harder then his. I have shorter gears
@@JoshRaySpot i could see that with the shorter gearing. Taller gearing can be nice, guy in a gt350 wants to do a 50 roll with me, which is also my best roll in the Z. It might be a little to high for you tho
550whp or so on low boost. Not even tuned for the headers and stuff yet. It is a conservative tune for sure. We are about to start tuning and playing with timing
@@bryanmellberg7469 I would recommend these all day over the other brands more versatile on the street. I was actually about to shoot the review. They honestly changed everything with my car. Even ride smoother. And my tire tech said they were much more structerly round them my pilot cups which were garbage at my power level
TurboJosh those are what is on my car now and I’m the same, I can’t hook at all and I’m stock right now (ls7 car). I’m about to go heads/cam so I know they won’t hook then either 😂😂, thanks for the help !
@@bryanmellberg7469 np. Main reason i went for proper tires was with my torque in 3rd at 100+ id wobble like bad. It was unsafe havnt tested r888r that high yet but 100s on the forums say it is the tires
@@steve1714 chit i will look at the slips when i get home. I totally cant remember. Iam pretty new to the 1/4 mile at the track so i dont soak that in. I did have a guy say that a couple of them where very good tho.i have made like 9 passes total and broke loss only 2 times. Did not heat up enuff
I run the r888r on my c7 z06 completely stock, i get low 11s at the track consistently lgot a couple of 10.8 runs. They grip great!
345 width ou 335?
how r they on the street?
Im going to order these today, the 325-30-20s for my c7 z06 thats at 630 rwhp and 705 torque hopefully they hook since the nitto 555r2s arent hooking.

I would go wider if you can
Theses things hook and book! Up to 750whp!! Love these I have 345s

Depending on wheel size I think this is the best especially for all around. Congrats on a gt500. Thank you for watching. Mash the sub button for us!
@@JoshRaySpot sure we will , thanks man!! 👍

What size are those?
What’s the side of the tire 275?
Nope 345. Widest you can get
I'm interested in a test on those tires in a car that doesn't weigh 2.5 tons. My car is 2000lb. Do you think the grip would be high?
Just depends. Power level. Temperature that day. Road type and condition. They are awsome tires regardless. My car hits hard and 18psi in the tires holds the car all day long
Sometimes lighter weight can cause Loss of traction are you fwd rwd or awd?
@@themechanicred lol it is a corvette. That a serious ?
@@JoshRaySpot no sir that question was for Jim as he didn’t mention what vehicle he has
@@JoshRaySpot but thanks for the review on the tires definitely going to be going with these since I’m running 19s as well with big brakes
How much power are you pushing.? Do you think they’ll do good with 860 rear wheel horsepower? Roll racing
He said around 550-600 horsepower i think
And here's a video that may help with higher horsepower cars ruclips.net/video/piX4-AzxB2Q/видео.html
So after 4 months. What are your thoughts?
Love them
But pricey
@@JoshRaySpot are they as noisy as people make them out to be and how are high speeds with them?
@@kalebspecht8211 nope not at all

Hi so i am a 16 yr and my dream car is a datsun 240z , can i put r888r on it and is it legal in europe ?

@@lapescuitcubucsa3627 thank you. I will try. We plan to pull my corvettes motor and throw it in a bmw! Keeping my r888r to!
With semi warm r888rs on i can do a 25 roll in my 06 Z and put it all down.
25 roll in first, making 527 whp
