I have these tires on my hellcat , the newer r888r Offcourse but I absolutely love it , my car makes around 740 down to the rear wheels and I can do 40 rolls with no traction control on and I don’t slip at all ❤️
I love my R888s! Im at 600rwhp and they work great. Even with the car set on kill (700rwhp) these tires hook. Check out my crappy vids and you'll get an idea of how well they work.
I really like what Ive seen from these tires and have been my top pick for when I get myself into a Terminator. Any clearance issues at all running the 18X10 with the 315's of this tire with the IRS? I assume not. My plan was to run a 18X10 wheel on the back with 315's but I know some tires run wider than others and could cause clearance issues
KyleSVT did you have to get the fenders rolled at all? Would you be able to use low profile IRS bolts instead of grinding down the stock ones? I want to fit these but don’t want clearance issues
I rolled the fenders. Full tilt now sells proper low profile bolts. just scoll down (FT 1650) fulltiltboogieracing.com/1999-2004_Cobra_Suspension_Parts_and_Tools.htm
I run 315 35r17 in my mach1 and nto5rs are awesome but man they dont last, i spun on a tiny bit of gravel and made a nice smokeshow but it toom the sidewall out completly down to the wire, trying tqs or these next
Hey Kyle beautiful car brother. I have two questions. I’m going to be getting H&R race springs. I plane on running a 305/30 on an 18” 10.5 wide reason for 305 is I don’t want to roll the fenders just wondering if you know that I’ll be ok without doing so. Second why not run 30’s in the front to match the rear? Great video.
Thanks! I rolled them just to be safe. Can't say for a 305 with an 10.5 wide wheel. R888 and R888r don't come in 275/30/18. Here is a size list www.toyotires.com/product/proxes-r888r
Howa the fitment on the rear 18x10 with 315 tires on them? All the tire shops I go to say 285 is the biggest u can go on 18x10? But in saying that my mate has 305 on 18x10 rim
I want to put the magnetic ride suspension out of the GT350 on my cobra when I get it what's the best tires for the road course that are also street legal I'm definitely getting a terminator it's one sweet ride

Great video. My buddy has a 700rwhp Cobra and swears by these tires. They're on my list for sure.
Thanks Mick!

Thanks brother! Very cool!
Thanks for review... my cobra is mid 700 so going from 16 Hoosier slick to my street 18’ wheel and def getting these tires
Glad I could help!

They sure do grip well on your car! Thanks for the input! Your car sounds great man
Thanks for this.I need these for the same reason and I don't burn out either.
Thanks for watching man glad I could help!
Got em on my car back in March they hook I can assure you that
Nice!
Once you get a chance to get to the track, you’ll really get the feel of grip of the r888s.
Yes!
I spin these in my pickup at only 340 whp

I know this is old but where did you get your shorty antenna from ? Just bout my gt and it doesn’t have one. Looking to get one soon
It is a blackpath racing one
How are these in the rain if u get caught out in a storm?
So how many miles did you get on them? Under normal driving conditions how many miles before needing to change them
About 8k miles on them now and they still look and perform great. Got them about 4 years ago

Hello I have the same car would I be able to use 245 or 255 for the front and why did you choose 275 for the front ??
175 is factory size. I would not go smaller
I love those tires.
They are the best!
Hey Kyle Who You Happen To Have Had Any Issues With Low Speed Clicking In Your Front End? Only When Turning Left?
Yes. It is most likely your steering rack bushings that are worn out. Mine did the same thing

It's tight but works. you dont get the full tire patch but it's fine
Would you think with 18.5 rims up front, would you have any rubbing with the r888s?
not sure but i have 18x9 up front with 275 and no rubbing
@@KyleSVT cool. Then ill have to try the 275 up front. Just need to save money again..lol. and how is the rst clutch doing?

@@KyleSVTthats great as im thinking to buy it later on. does it engage low or high when u release the clutch?

I been looking for wheels that grip I also want them to be wide . I just got a 04 gt
Thanks!
305/50r20 all the way around here. 🤠
I can't find R888s for 18's except 275/40 and they don't have 275/35's and I want 315/30 for back. Do you know if toyo is phasing them out
Yea you need to get the R888R now

Do you have 9 inch wheels on back?
10inch in back
KyleSVT okay I was going to put nitto 315s in the back and wasn’t sure if there was a need for a 10.5
nittos might run wider than the toyos not sure
Hey! I wanna get these tires for my cobra, I got the stock 17in wheels, what size should I go with?
Not sure how wide you can go on the stock cobra wheel but 275 seems to fit fine
will the 315's fit my stock 17's svt wheels that came with my cobra. Which only has (10,500) miles on it :) or do i need to ordered new wheels?
your gonna need wider wheels.
Bummer, what’s you recommendation on good hook ups for the stock wheels set up? I’m new to the cobra scene.

Ive been wanting to upgrade mine to
@@zapaerialproductions6897 Yea I have 315s on my 10inch wide wheels
You have coilovers right? Do the 275 run on them by any chance?
nope on h&r race springs
@@KyleSVT I’m trying to see if a 275 would rub with my mm coilovers do they buldge a lot on the 9” saleens?
decent bulg but just raise the car if u have rub issues

What is the rear deminsons of the wheels rim size and tire size please
@0:21 👍
@@KyleSVT Thank you so much!!! Also beautiful car
Thank you!
How wide is the rim and tire ?
front are 18x9 275/35/18 and rear are 18x10 315/30/18
So for a 2v mustang gt , this tire would be good lol overkill maybe
Yes this will work great! lol
Where did you order these from?
Tire rack
KyleSVT
Did they fit without any mods?
I did roll my fenders and grind down irs bolts just in case
KyleSVT
Thanks!
What’s the difference between these and the R888rs?
Like you, I had the 555s 275s all around and 1-2nd gear are useless!
NP! The R888Rs are just a stickier tire
