Got these on o1 roush prepped mustang like them alot, I also found them to be good in the rain on the street, have not tried them in rain on track, they are a fun tire and work well on race track predictable and great traction, though I'm only putting 271 hp and 301lb ft torque to the wheels
I was wondering what your use is on these tires. Daily driving, track days, or strip? You didnt mention treadwear or show anything in the video. Looking at these, or maybe the Nankang AR-1 on my '18 Mustang GT for track days.
I use them as my daily tires I've had the rears for about 2 years now. About 5k-7k miles on them. Tread is still very good, I think I can get another 5k out of them. I would check them out online for official treadwear. Will be making another video with power updates. I've also heard good things on there for track use.
I run those on my 09 v 2.38 upper and just did a set of AO52 for an event at ncm (new) and my 1.5 year old 888's are a ton better but my question is are the NT 01's even better had those on my 94 Camaro and loved them and went Hoosier R6' never looked back. But I'd love to try the NT 01 on the V
Thanks for the info, I was wondering as far as grip on the street R888R vs the MT ET s which tire had the most traction in a straight line? Also, road noise, I have the nitto nt01's on my zl1 and they are super loud... like a train is behind me... thanks again for the video.
The MT ET have more grip. As you saw I have to sets of wheels. When I know I'm going to the track or going out with my friends. I put on the MT's. The R888R's are noisy they also grip very well. They are a good do everything tire tight turns and straight line. Only bad side is the noise. They also look good on the wheel 🤷♂️
What’s your RWHP at? I’m 730, desperately needing tires that will at least hook in second gear. Was about to get MT ET street SS but sounds like these are the better option.
I'm at 800RWHP, they hook when I drive aggressive, but do slip a bit if I'm launching the car on the light. They are good at cornering and for windy roads, MTs I just didn't like on turns
The MT SS will deff hook better from a stop or from a roll, but the sidewall IS SOFT compared to the 888's- the MT's almost dead hook from a 2nd gear roll in my 5th gen zl1 at right around 700 at the wheel- but you can feel the ass end shift when cornering or switching lanes sometimes. A little unnerving depending on the situation. Forget about rain- sketch fest. The 888r's won't hook as hard but will corner on another level and do a little better if caught in the rain. (Not ideal, but doable)
@@MrintheZL do you think you could get 15k miles on those tires the r888r’s I’m buying. A 18 zl1 non 1le and I want some 305 front and maybe 315 rear r888 or Michelin 4s’s I want longer lasting over traction or anything else I’d be driving 10k miles my first year and next maybe 20k miles in 2023
@@RideOrDie717 I have pilot sport 4s and I abuse them, and they have lasted well over 15,000 miles for me and still rocking (and I make 650 to the wheel, so that’s saying something)
Better than the Goodyear's I'd say yes! I haven't used PS4's but these are track tires so I'd say yes as well. I really like the tire sharp as well compared to GY and PS4's.
@@MrintheZL I’m saying how are the radial pros traction wise compared to the r888r. I’m spinning up to 3rd gear at 80mph on radial’s, heard one other person with same problem went to r888s and night and day better improvement
All you said for 3 minutes straight was that you liked them. No treadwear, didn't even show tread. Didn't talk about grip. You own a sports car... You didn't even talk about rolling starts or launching, not to mention cornering. No talk about road noise and the handling... All I learned was that you like them.
Sorry for wasting your time. Tires take time to heat up. Corning is great, no slip on streets. Rolls and launches are relative. Both hold in lower/mid RPM. With 800 HP I can't 100% break them loose on rolls and launches. I can also break loose my MTs. But that doesn't mean they are a bad tire. My MT suck at corning
@@charles-fq2dw i had already 2 sets of 4 since i wrote this comment. Super loud tires, but hen its hot out they stick to the ground well. They will only last you around 6-7k miles. 285/35/20 325/30/20
@@eriygow6422 oh i see.... i hear other gtr owners around my area use the MP4S although good daily and longevity, it doesn't stick very well and it may have some issues staying straight when your going full throttle.. must be the side wall being too thick when it flexes on hard launch... looking at nittos or toyos seem to be the safe bet closer to OEM stiffness
When you are reviewing a tire, at least get the name right. Using the word "good" is no review. How about Dry traction, lateral stability, high speed road noise, etc. That review is something you would hear for a 400tw eco tire.
They hook really good on my old tune and set up. Trying it out this weekend with my new set up. I'll post a new video. ET/R's hook up great with the new set up for sure
I'm having same debate between MT R's and the R888's on my 19 Z06 auto. I am a drag racer and my Z06 has gone 11.0 at 130 but no traction in 1st, so I may add a tire. I've read of MT problems on C7 Corvette at 130+ and of course in damp weather. (I live in S Florida) So I looked at the R888's as an option. How have they compared with your MT's. Thanks.
I had no idea Badger from Breaking Bad did car reviews.
bro i was getting ready to type the same thing and seen this!
Dog 😂🤣🤣
They do howl a bit at higher speeds. Got them on my Viper. Traction has been outstanding even in cool weather.

Did you have to relocate the wire harness on the driver's rear to fit the 315s? I know you do when going for 325s.

@@Zle_blacklightning yes
@@MrintheZL it wouldn't bother me it's not a DD anyway. Long as the hook Im Cool. Besides I'd probably get used to it
@@MrintheZL if a tire is louder than your engine, then something is WRONG
Please make more camaro videos with a drone while you are driving if you can, I enjoy those
I'll try harder! 😁
Hello sir, I have a question. what about drone inside car with the Toyo's? Are they a noisy tire?
Yes you can hear tons of drone.
If you’re exhaust is loud you wouldn’t be able to hear them
For all the power u have you def need those !!!
Lol yes! And Lots a maintenance next year 😂
Would you think its better for daily and track car than a nitto 555g2?
Any wheel well rub with the 315's? Using spacers? Let us know and great video!
No spacers no wheel rubbing, straight up replacement GY for Toyo's
Thanks!!
whats your current wheel\tire specs for front and back with the welds

Do they spin tire when punching it from 60? Or 40?
These used ones yes, going with a new set and will make a new video
How much power you were making at time of this video spinning? Also when new what was the power level to the wheels if it's OK to ask?
What was the fastest you drove on these tires on the highway?
How high of a launch rpm do the R888Rs hold for you on the Street without spinning ?
I'll have to check, they hold well
What type of life you think you'd get out of these? Obviously it varies with how a person drives guessing 10-12k miles?
I would say so, mine have more now
I have a stock wheel for my 2021 ZL1 will this tire rub?
I wish you would of shown the actual wear after 6k of driving
Sorry didn't measure them new, otherwise I would have. They still lots of life left. I seen people wear them all the way down.

Good info.
Great review ty
yo where did you bought them can you send me the link plz
Do the Toyos hook better than the factory tires in first gear?
I have a stock 19’ zl1 a10
Yes
Great video. Ignore the hate out here 😂💪
Do they bite better than PS4S and the Goodyear? What about handeling?
Better than the Goodyear's I'd say yes! I haven't used PS4's but these are track tires so I'd say yes as well. I really like the tire sharp as well compared to GY and PS4's.

How do you like the radial pros? I have those now horrible traction, thinking of getting r888r
They are only good for drag racing, anything turning they don't feel stable

Did you have to change anything to make these fit or was it just install and go?
No changes ready to go
@@MrintheZL thank you
These tires are not R triple R's. They are R triple 8's from Toyo. Maybe he's doing a different tire from Toyo!
Nope they are real R888R. Trust me I've check 1000 times lol
@@MrintheZL yeah, those are R888r. no doubt. i have the same tires.
Can you fit 325s on stock wheels?
I've seen people do that before
I bought me a set. 👍
Did it do well in drag strip?
Need some practice still. Will update
How wide are those rims you put the 315’s on?
They are the OEM wheels

No it's not
