Default Anyone Tested New Toyo RR's?....

Searched but didn't find anything. I know Spec Boxster's are using them this year, we (POC) have another spec class that's considering them. We'd like to hear of any comparisons to RA1's or R888's....

Thanks in advance....

Hello JRG,
Beside the Toyo, what is your feeling about the Nitto NT01 v.s. the Yoko A048 ?
Would be very interested to have a review of these 3 ! (including the Toyo)

Faster per lap than both of those. Very much like a Hoosier without the drastic fall off.

I have run both the Nitto NT01 and the Toyo R888's on my BSX Boxster. I find the Nitto a better tire for the track since it is slightly softer with more adjustability. I hear they both have the same compound and I would agree with that, but the sidewalls feel different. I switched over to the Nitto's after the R888's prices quickly increased and I am glad I did.

@Racingrich : Thanks a lot for your post. It confirms what I read "left and right", and now, I'm going to change my (4) brand new Kuhmo,..that I got on my "new" 2001 Boxster, ..on brand new OZ Allegeritta 18", these Kuhmo are simply horrible, it looks like the are made with wood, ..insted of the juice of them !! !
I just got a BK extension bar, so, ..it should be ok !
(Note that the PSS9 are all already in place, as well as front GT3 type lower arms, so camber will be fine for them !)
