Hdosanjh Report post Posted December 21, 2018 Hi all buying tyres for my Diablo getting a great deal on Toyo R888 GG MEDIUM COMPOUND TYRES 2 X 335/30/R18 REARS AND 2 X 255/35/R18 FRONT. THE R888 IS A ROAD LEGAL HIGH PERFORMANCE TYRE ALSO USED FOR TRACKDAYS AND RACING. Ive been told as they are used for racing will get hot and cause flat spots? Can this be avoided I’m only going to use for general driving. Are they suitable for this? Any advise or experience appreciated.

StoleIt Report post Posted December 27, 2018 I have R888's on my Gallardo and haven't had any hot or flat spots. They did increase the amount of road noise in the cabin but otherwise no complaints. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
whiteout Report post Posted January 2, 2019 I run the R888r on my LP640. Great tire for the money and bumping the front tire up to 255 really transforms the handling characteristics. If you're AWD, you will need to convert to 2WD to run these tires. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hdosanjh Report post Posted January 2, 2019 Hi thanks for the replies, down want to turn to 2wd. How about running the R888 on the rear and a different brand on the front? i can’t get the 235 for the front but was getting a great deal on them. So R888 on front different on front. Won’t be using car on the track general road usage. Thanks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hdosanjh Report post Posted May 8, 2019 Hi guys it currently has 235/35/18 on the front is it on changing to 235/40/18 on the front? It raises the car by about 23mm Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cabbe Report post Posted May 8, 2019 Be careful to not change the diameter of the tires too much, unless you are 2WD. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DosDiablosAzules Report post Posted May 9, 2019 I've been using Michelin Pilort Sports on both my Diablos since '06, 50,00 miles combined (I drive and enjoy my cars, but never tracked) Will never use anything other than Pilot Sports, good grip, good ride, good life.
