R888 suck, ran them on my GT-R and they are awful. Super noisy/loud, grip is less than top tier street tires (i.e. Bstone RE-71). I like the NT01 better but still prefer Hoosier/slicks.

Well. It has been decided. I am going to hit the crack pipe. No going back now. When you find me in the gutter, penniless, and my kids unable to attend college just cancel my account at Rennlist and get me back into a Audi (or Volkswagon.)

Hoosiers being mounted tomorrow morning but thank you very much for the offer. I am tempted to use buy them for the future. This community is amazing. If you want to get rid of them I'm sure there will be takers.

Same here...America's Tire(same company) make sure you tell them to price match with discount tire direct, or wherever you find the cheapest online. For some reason their store prices don't match their website.

hey - so I have a set of shaved RA1 in the 335 size that many of us have run, they are old, but work OK. These have 8 heat cycles on them. I'm pulling them off an putting NT01 on the rims.

If anyone wants them - FREE - if you're in a pinch they work good. Like more rotation than NT01 and get a bit greasy when pushed hard.

Well, free local pickup. I'm in SoCal / OC area.
