Sidewall is too stiff for Drag Racing & will likely give less grip than average Street Tyres...http://www.toyotires.com.au/_webapp_1080654/Proxes_R1RR1R are listed as a circuit tyre as well though so do you reckon they'd be much different at the drags? I was just wondering as hardly anyone uses them (probably because of the price or the hassle of importing them cheap). & according to CAT600 they are the ducks nuts. I have some to try but my brother has my ute at the moment so I haven't been able to burn off my Advans. I wonder if I can get a government grant to do this research? R888's will get you between 5 and 7,000kms yes, but the grip level stays consistant that whole time where an AD08 or even an R1R will markedly drop off after 50% life. As an example my AU has had the 295/30/19 R888's on there for just over 5,000kms now and has almost 2mm usable left on them (2.9mm tread total) So I'm banking on between 7 and 8 thousand clicks. That car has never seen less than 503rwkw and up to 588rwkw and has run some passes at the drags and many dyno runs on them (R888+Dyno roller serations = hurts)Over to R1R, an awesome tyre, I removed them at 9800kms with 1.9mm left on them (total) but the R1R tread pattern starts to appear bald in the centre section at this point. This is on the twin turbo FG with between 430 and 540 rwkw. After 6,000kms the R1R's lost 15-20% grip and after ~8500kms another 10% I reckon..... I fitted new ones and the car would stick 430 rwkw all the time (including the 1-2 shift on the built ZF) and 500rwkw once in second gear. To give you an idea on more power, with 25 psi Methanol tune @ 613rwkw the FG would wheelspin at 150 in 3rd and major blacktrak at 180+ in 4th..... scaryness that an R888 never passes on.AD08's I havent bothered owning (I am a Toyo man) but after seeing Ramons dismal review I would stick to either R888 or R1R depending on size an fitment options.As far as cost goes, we do get stung on R888 prices here in AUS but I'm looking into some parallel import options ATM.In summary, R888's are the ultimate street legal rubber bar none (Now that RA1's are no more locally) while R1R is an awesome compromise with price in mind.Daniel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R888's are an R-Comp, R1R's are a Semi-Slick.R888's would not do too well at the drags imo due to stiff sidewall construction. Have never tried them however Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
