Anyone tried Toyo R888 yet ?

[nurburgring]

I might be interested to swap my tyres to Toyo R888 semi slicks in time to come. Any one tried it on the yaris yet ? Just wondering what is the noise level like.

what are you going to use it for? For street: I don't recomended, the compound is too soft, so it won't last that long, and during rain season, you have to becareful. For Drag race, okay, it has a very nice grip, and the price is much lower than ADVAN A048, or bridgestone RE01R
For the street use, why don't u use ADVAN Neova AD07. price is very cheap, and quality is very good on dry or wet.
I always use this Tyre for Honda JAZZ One Make Race in Indonesia. very recomended

R888 are very nice! I had to drive our GTI with 19" 235/35/19 888's in very heavy rain on east coast last week over 300 miles! They handled great, no hydroplaning!

I haven't run them on the Yaris yet, running the RA1 for now in 205/50/15... the 888 15" isn't officialy release in US yet, only larger sizes. The winning corolla in our AE86 time attack is running them too

Yes we do. Yokohama and Advan are the same thing. Advan Sport, Neova AD07, A048 and A032 are all available here in the states through Tire Rack and others.
