I bought a set of Toyo R888R to replace my RE71Rs, which were amazing and was very disappointed in the performance. The squealed, howled and understeered on nearly every corner and lost grip on of 4 of them at one point.
I started at 34 hot PSI
Went down to 33 hot PSI and stiffened the front struts a little. They got better but still no where near the performance of an RE71R.
After 5 sessions at Heartland Motorsport Park they don't show any wear and didn't create any tire turds.... they look like I went to Walmart and back.
If I back off on the track, of course they seem great. When I push them, they seem to give up the ghost.
I'm wondering if I have the set up wrong, lower pressure yet?
Did others have to make suspension adjustments to get them to perform?
I see one guy in the Lap times thread did a 2:29 in GT500 with R888Rs. Makes me think I'm doing something wrong.
Trying to track down a set of NT01 to replace these, wondering it its necessary. They seem to be so far off the RE71R mark, I don't think they can be dialed in.
Thoughts ,suggestions?
