awesome. i have r888s aswell. remember, they run about .2-3 tenths of an inch taller than the michelins, so make sure your front is a 235 35 19 r888. rear michelin is 26.3, toyo is 26.5, front michelin is 25.5, front toyo is 25.7.
im reading this from notes i made today actually because im thinking of running a set of goodyear 325s i have to give them a try with 255 35 19 goodyears up front.

I'd be interested in hearing your input on noise compared to other tires you have tried. I'm going with these tires to replace my PSS once my upgrades are complete and I would like to know what to expect in terms of increases in cabin noise compared to quiet tires like PSS. Thanks!

The Review

I've had these tires for a couple of days now and this is a quick review:

Pros:

- The tires are less expensive than other brands.
- They look amazing.
- The tires warm up rather quick.
- Really good grip on dry & wet street.
- Can be used on tracks and streets.
- Very good handling.

Cons:

- They wear out quick, im guessing ill have to change them 1-2 years max.
- They are noisy tires, a few of my friends thought i had to get my wheel bearings checked.
- A little stiff to the point that i literally damaged the asphalt (no joke).
- Not very comfortable.
