Maximum TIRE(Rubber) fitment thread

RAMM,

How do you like the R888s? I've heard they can be a bear in the cold? Do they take a while to heat up on the street? Are you happy with the staggered set-up? I've always wanted to try them. How many street miles have you put on them?

Try and get a larger front tire on there, or reduce the size of the rear tire. Try and get the stagger to be within 30mm of the front tires. From my experiences S-Chassis cars don't really respond to well with a large difference in stagger on the track.

Yes, they are R-Compound tires so on the street they do not perform that well. You definitely need to put some heat in them for them to actually work. I used the tires on the track primarily and would occasionally take them out on the street for a cruise. I ran 275's ALL AROUND in that picture.

I put close to 1000 street miles on the tires. Mainly just cruising around and breaking in the motor, the majority of the wear on the tires came from the 3 track days that I put on them.
