No Nitto NT-01's? They're noisy, but they stick like glue.

Unfortunately, NT01's don't come in 19". I have BFG DRs on the 18's, but require some sticky tires for the 19" HREs...hence the R888s.

Since you have own two P cars (996 turbo and 996 GT2) I would like to know if you think there is a big difference between modded turbo and a GT2.
Congrats

Rob, he's going to need some time for that. Give him a chance to actually get use to the car.

Awesome tire!!

Great tire indeed for traction on the street, better then my Hoosier R6's that I left on from a track event and went around on IMO.. ALTHOUGH, on the track, I picked up 6-8 seconds from half used R888;s

Scott, did you see the other thread? I went through 4 sets of 335 rears, -2.8 camber and slammed, no rubbing on or off the track, you are good to go!

Martin,

Are you saying you picked up 6-8 seconds over the hoosiers? Can that be?

I think he is saying he was faster on the Hoosiers on the track over half used R888's. R6's wouldn't be worth using on the street unless you have roads that allow driving that would get a nice amount of heat into them.
