Toyo Proxes are a win every time! Keep up the great reviews on tires and wheels. Giving away this "free" content builds a more knowledgable user base which enables your future/perspective buyers the chance to make more informed choices off the rapport you built with them here. You guys are killing it! Let's hear about the BF Goodrich Sport Comp 2 tires soon! I also would recommend a "top 5 affordable tires for drifting" video.
I'm sorry but you CANNOT review a tire that you've never driven... that doesn't make any fkn sense!? Come on guys; step your game up. smh
Absolutely right brother!!! You’ve got to test the tire in first second and third gear, with different roll speeds in second and third as well. Terrible review
It's gonna be okay... I swear.
@@abiamiamab9677 nah fitment ind are literally fair weather fans lmao
in case anyone was wondering, the pricing is around $200 per tire for a set of 255/40/17's
It is NOT an autocross tire ... takes too long to warm up. It's for track use.
So what if im driving down the road and some car pulls up . What should i do
@@florimshala1 Get Michelin ps4s.
I have Michelin PS4s and they don’t hook worth a damn. Considering R888s.
I dont have lots of XP with other tire models, however I used to drive on R888's(the predecessor) on track and the grip is fenomenal. They were pretty durable on my 1000kg Civic. I could feel the tire warm up for about 1 and a half minutes and after the 2nd minute I was all out on the track. At the same time, the tires were not fading too quickly and I hardly felt them overheat. They helped me get on the podium few times. Great tire, 100% would recommend.
What would you like to see next?! COMMENT BELOW - Mario
Bridgestone RE-71R, very popular tire for daily/track/AutoX. I use it for those three on my S2K. 255/35/18 Track set-up. LOVE THEM, so much grip for what it is. Thanks for your vids, they are awesome.
Re71
firehawk indy 500 !! very cheap wanna know if theyre any good!!
General tire g-max RS, it's new for 2018. Came out in February and so far has like 52 sizes.
Vape mods
Planning to do these on my C7 Z06 rears only matched with Toyo T1R or T1 Sports on fronts. I am hoping having quieter fronts helps noise but the tires are for maximum straight line performance on daily driver.
Alex be ballin' with that Porsche
Unlike anything you've used, you simply cannot review a tire you've not used lol. I like the channel and the content but these tire reviews are far from being an actual review.
Just put these on my 2011 gt500. What a difference over the stock Goodyear’s! Sticky AF and a much nicer ride.
What size did you go with?
Is it nessassary to put all 4 on or can I get away with only the back
@@jorose95I know I’m late asf, but these are better for rwd vehicles
What size fronts did Alex run with the 305/30/19 on the rear? I see they have the 245/35/19 available for R888 but this combination leaves .5" difference in diameter. Were there any codes that were thrown? Abs, TC, etc...?
Running these with a stage 1 stretch on my rocket bunny Miata. 225/50/15 on 15x10.5 in the rear and 195/50/15 on a 15x9 in the front. Daily these things and love them!
Sounds dope man I love Miata's ! You should upload some more pictures to our gallery! bit.ly/2obqAZQ
Bro did you use them for your daily drive ? Can you give me your review? I'm looking to get a pair of these for my mi gt 02 stage 1
Always dig these tire reviews. Appreciate it.
What would be the best tires for my 730whp R34 GTR and the climate would be dry and winter if you have difficulty opinions for different climates
At 2:12 in the video you said it’s a tyre you wouldn’t want to stretch. Does that mean if I go for a 295 or 305 35/R19 on a BMW F82 that original runs from factory 275/35/R19 rear would be a little stretching .
I have a set of 275/35/R19 R888R on my rear but I was planning on going 305/35/R19 next swap. I am considering whether I should get a larger wheel
I need new tire for my C63 AMG 2013, I’m between khumo ps91/ pilot sport4/ contisportcontact 5// I’m thinking also to put semi slick like those r888r or khumo v720, is it a good idea put semi slick to a daily? Looks so good
Does any one know some amazing summer tires for a 2018 challenger rt shaker plus? I've been searing for so long don't know what best! I know I can fit a 275-45-20
what about road noise? can u use it as daily? how about rain?
What's the best fitment for 6" lift kit trucks
Are these good for street and daily driving?
this tires can ride when raining?
I have these tires on my e92 M3. I track them and daily drive them and absolutely love these tires. Usually only ran with michelin pilot super sport and 4s but I like these better. There is a little road noise but nothing I can really hear over my exhaust lol. Highly recommend these tires not to mention they look badass.
Thanks for letting us know! Car sounds awesome!
wats the life like
MCR-86 Glad to hear! My brother n law recommended these as he had him them on his M5 And loved them!they are going on my 88 Mustang Saleen which I only drive weekends and to car shows but I’m looking to hook up better and also like the look, I was just a little worried because the video said they need to heat up and I’m not really going to the track with them..thnx!
Exact the same how I think. (y)
How do these things handle in the rain since you daily them? Specifically highway use in the rain.
You guys need to do the Advan AD08R too!
305/30R20 suitable for Golf R mk7 ?
Intro beat got me.. Dope.
Could I use these for street racing?
Is Alex planning on doing some track days? I know the Milwaukee Track Day guys do track day at least once a month on a Thursday. With the Milwaukee Mile at risk of closing down, it'd be a good idea to run the track at least once before they finalize on what they want to do with the track in June.
My foxbody has 315/35/17s and i just ordered them cant wait to see them
How did they work out? My rears are the same size
@@Jimmy_Cavallo perfectly
110whp 800kg fwd. Good match?
nice proxes r888r toyo tires
Just gout a set of these put on my 93 rx7 fd. Can’t wait to take them out
What wheels?!
I'm thinking of getting they for my FD so how do you like them so far
Those tires THICC
OOOFFFF

Holly wideness 😱
My only problem with them is they aren't left and right, so you end up with with one set of sips running forward and one running backward.
I run federal rs RR, they're an amazing tire and good on the wallet
Gennadiy Marusich
I run toyo r888 turn my bucket into a track car lol
I’m gonna buy these for my focus st once I’m FBO
Could you guys review the Toyo Celsius SUV tire? I keep hearing it’s a good tire
Sick video, Really appreciate you guys giving it so much detail. Can't wait to start my RUclips channel and kick off my r33 GTR build with a new set of ce28's with these wrapped around them. Cheers
thanks for the love!!
R888 is the meaty boys
I run 275/35/R19s on my '03 RS6. Would love to put these on my HREs!!
Shoot us an email sometime and we would love to help you get setup with a set sometime! shop@fitmentindustries.com
Im in Love with these tires. I had them on my Audi for the track. I’m planning on getting them for my Evo. But I’m wondering how they perform in rain/on wet road. So how do they perform there ?
Hoodietraeger terrible - the only 100tw tire that’s good in wet is Toyo RA1
I run these during the winter with snow and ice. I can guarantee you that you will eat shiiit.
Just picked these up got my GTR
Do the Firestone Firehawk Indy 500
💥💥 If the operating temperature is 160-220 what does it take on the street to heat them up to that and how poorly will they handle and grip when they are not that hot.?? I have BF Goodrich g-Force KD 🔷
-Front 275/40ZR/17 98Y 9.5” rim
-Rear 315/35ZR/17 102Y 11.5” rim currently and my car blisters 1st, spins all through 2nd and a little into 3rd and I hope that these hook better on a launch. I also have CalTracs traction control bars on the rear springs but they don’t seem to help that much. 🇺🇸💪🏼
9 months later and no reply. Ok…. Thanks.
Please do firehawk indy 500 next! Very popular but cheap. Wanna know if its good!
I like them I have 255/45 r18 on my 2011 avenger. They preform as I need. Great when dry and I don’t have to worry in the rain.
They are great, Ive had Conti ProContacts, Conti ExtremeContacts, Firestone Indy 500 Ovals and Bridgestone Potenza 760 sports on my car, They are only slightly less grippy than the potenzas but more grip than both the contis but the wet grip is twice as good as the bridgestones and about the same as both the contis. Honestly if you are looking for a performance tire on a car you are dailying Indy 500s are the best option. They have good drivability in the rain and really great dry performance at a pricepoint that is hard to beat. I would highly recomend.
Pablo Picaso yeah looking to put them on my 350z
James Lord Are you just going to be dailying it? How much to you value tire life. Are you willing to sacrafice wet performance? How much will budget be a deciding factor for your tire choice?
Pablo Picaso looking to daily it but still somewhat agressive
Can you do the Falken Azenis RT615+?
2nd these tires. Have them on my car now and they heat up fast. Just a quick drive around the block and these things are warm. These are more of an auto-x tire than the R888Rs but doesn't mean you can't track day them as I have done that. Very happy with these tires and will buy another set.
Has anyone ran these in full blown winter? Thinking about storing mine away heard they harden in the cold and can crack
Its a summertire youre not supposed to drive them in winter...
You need winter tires for the winter bro not all seasons. Winter tires make a huge difference
I only have set of R888's😢
I like this channel but please guys get someone to fact check the finished edits before uploading. You still get a 👍from me tho. Keep on keepin on fellas.
What’s the best daily semi slick or sports tyre?
Check out what we have for our sports tires! bit.ly/2ETO28P
These
You don’t need them if you can’t spell tire
I might get this wheels for my truck, but thier arnt alot of size selections
You’d be wasting over a grand buying these wheels for your truck. Unless you’re gonna do some hardcore track driving, or canyon carving. Putting them on a donked out Silverado for burnouts and takeovers you’d be dumb to go with these.
nice toyo tires name proxes r888r
Cup2 R or Direzza or Trofeo or A539
Best drag tire I’ve found…BUT NOSY!!!!
How can you review something you never used? "For my next review, I'm going to to tell you what it is like walking around Venus..."
Mannnn can y’all up y’all selection of 215s I wanna buy a set but damn
This isnt Toyos YT
Federal semi slick review next pls
Added to the list!👍
Well, I would like to hit the track with a less expensive tire. The consumables are tough.
Nankang AR1 man, great tire and cheap. I lve ran both the R888R and the AR1 and prefer the Nankang. Gets to temp faster, sticks more and cost half as much. One draw back they wear a bit faster...
@@adaryltwillie4784 Unfortunately not offered in a tire size for me. Even the 315/30R18 is too short. I need a 28.6" tall tire, or something close.
@@ScoutPL Damn! What are you driving man? Sounds like something fun lol. I have an MR2 with a tad over 300whp so I can find tires in almost any brand.
@@adaryltwillie4784 Yeah, if I was smart I'd do a BRZ or Miata or something. Haven't been accused of being smart too much, haha. I'm running a 2015 Challenger. It's fun, but it is a challenge, LOL.
@@ScoutPL haha we are both definitely out the box same here with a 2015 challenger going towards a mountain touge build and absolute bully lighter cars in the twisties.I would recommend the Goodyear supercar3 very easy to warm up and they just grip and grip very predictable and wear almost as good as the pilot sport 4s and just dial it in with lots of front camber
Federal tire review please
What’s the treadware ?
100
I was sold the second he said Ken block runs these tires.
Boom, lets do this. -Edgar
These things loud as shit my man
V or Y speed rating?
Killer Blaziken the video said V.
But the image shown said Y
check the specific size of the tire you're interested in
Yeah the tire clearly shows Y and they stated V. Which means it can handle up to 190ish I believe
Pretty sure that's a Y rating tire and not a V rating tire. High horsepower cars can easily hit 150mph on a long straight.
You kinda expect a semi-slick to be great on the track, and it is ... in the dry. I ran these on my 370Z on a damp day and almost killed me. I'd advise the Pilot Sport 4's for a daily or the Cup 2 for track. Both will get you home safely (ran the Pilot sport 4's in snow BTW)
Yea these tires are meant for dry conditions. That’s why other sport tires have long treads in them. The Toyo sports are the ones that are good for the dry/wet. These are more like slicks but will stick to the ground like a magnet on a hot dry day
that road noise tho....... good luck having a nice convo on the way to the track with out losing ur voice.
KICROKS86 yup I vouch for the noise, it’s got good traction but I dislike the noise that it causes.
I can't hear myself let alone anyone else in my tack car 😂
Um worried about tire noise on a race tire?
Federal Tires?!
Forsure!
13" baby! Yall can down-grade your brakes with big wheels if you want.
149 mph.... Every sports car goes over 149 miles an hour so how is this going to work ???
Federal 595 rsrr
Art2Gecko very loud.
s s yup, I love them.
They’re on par with R888 not R888R
Anything that takes a half a lap to warm up wouldn’t be a good AutoX car. By the time they’re warmed up you’d be done with your run.
Treadware please ?
I Believe we have that on the list! 😀👍
Treadwear is @ 100! These are great tires for max grip. These will hold 800RWHP in 2nd gear!
i have this tire on my 18 mustang gt and that shit hooks
Milan2124 I heard great things, I want to throw them on my 88 Saleen Mustang, do they take a while to heat up,?i ’m in Long Island New York and I’m little worried because I use the car on weekends, after seeing your review though I feel a lot better throwing them in the back, thanks! Ps How bad is the road noise? I’m assuming you have exhaust as do I so hoping it isn’t an issue
The most over rated tire out there every tire I have used gave me better times from Federal rsrr to nankang ar1 to pirelli trofeo to super cup 2. To Firestone Indy 500 tires all out performed that r888
speed rating is 169mph on website your review is not up to par bros
Be mindful that for auto cross racing most clubs have a 200 tread wear ratings.
Depends on the event. If it’s SCCA you can run whatever you want.
If Ken Block counts on how easy it is to spin these tires how is that good for for road course 🤔
You can technically get these tires in 345/30r19 which is just ridiculously stupid
What's a porch?
Do you mean Porsche?
tomato, tomäto
Don't REVIEW them until you've driven on them and can give some concrete information about how they actually perform. We can all read tire specs off a website.
Ken Block runs these on ALL his cars? Well that's not entirely accurate is it, he does now that he got sponsored by Toyo. The original Hoonicorn ran custom made Pirelli Trofeo R embossed with his name.
well, he currently run these on all of his cars.
Review? More like a commercial..
😰😰😰
If you watch any videos where tires are tested not while sitting ( tyrereviews for example) on chair you'll find out that Toyo R888R actually are a weak tire which act non consistently and are beaten by UHP tires on track
Stop making nice looking tires famous
Say it with me: "Por-scha"... the car is a Porsche, not a Porsch...
Get over yourself
Porsche, not "Porsch".
NT01’s Nitto’s are way better....
A lot of Porsche owners forums seem to agree with you!
149 mph nahhh not enough for me
Anyone else cringe when people say "PORSH"?
callmecue in Germany we call it Porsche.
If you want a little more credibility, start pronouncing "Porsche" the correct way....
Review the r1r and the ra1 please
