Bridgestone RE-01R's have very good power down bloke.Straight line traction on my 380rwkw BF Typhoon was transformed.Pirelli PZero Corsa's would be the ultimate semi slick but limited sizing and availability made the RE-01R's an easy choice.

You will prolly find the 235 PZero Corsa's are actually closer to 245 in width once fitted!Lets know what km's you get out of your PZero Corsa rears ... note they have a treadwear of "60" Edited 01/03/09 12:41 PM by 2MUCHKW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the 295s are pretty much spot on 295, so Id assume the 235s would be the same.I don't expect too many kays from them, they cop a hard time lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check it out here: http://www.toyo.com/docs/tires/tires.asp?l...p;category=compI get my tyres from Ray at Tyrepower in Reservoir here in Vic who is the man when is comes to the 888's. If the TQ is to be released here, Ray should be the Vic distributor. He is looking in to it. Ray runs the 888 on his race car and loves them.

They didn't cost much. I think they cost me in the low $200 mark when I bought the FPV rims about a year ago.The Maxxis tyre company manufactures tyres for international vehicles worldwide. It is one of the newest manufacturing plants in the northern hemisphere and incorporates all the latest German and Japanese technology.I've been running them on my car 245s on the 19s and they have been pretty good. I am going to try and squeeze 265s on the rears...They felt ok around the Eastern Creek circuit at Powercruise 17, I didn't push them too much... and they are wearing really well.11.18@124mph with a 1.78 sec 60 footer @WSID ... They cant be too bad !! Edited 01/03/09 01:51 PM by JP300 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
