Lookin at get some sticky tyres for the summer when i'll be doin some trackdays...anyone recommend anythin in particular???? Found some TOYO R888 road legal track tyres for a good price, anyone used these????

 

Think alot of people on here rate these quite highly mate!

 

Am gonna have my R888's put on after i come back from Germany
Camskill have a discount on them at the mo

mines not really a track car at all, but think they'll look cool

 

You really sure that's a good idea? I'm not joking, they can be seriously dangerous in the wet.

 

Cool, might go for a set of toyo's then, gonna put em on some spare rims so i can just put em on for trackdays!
C&B: Have you used the toyo's then?? If so how do u rate em???

 

Gary had some on his Evo. Very good tyres. Unfortunately though, if you attempt to go round a corner that has ANY amount of standing water, you will be doing some off-roading.

I hate to imagine an emergency stop in the wet!!

 

LOL
Have to take some spare wheels in case it rains then!!

 

Shings told me they were dangerous in the wet - but will have to post a picture of my polished MO's after they have been out in the rain.
The collars where the studs sit rust immediately, so the plan is to put my won't wear out road tyres on some cheap alloys and keep my MO's for best and thrashing

 

Get them laquered. Your fighting a losing battle without - even in storage they start to get a white powder on them.

 

I'm going to invest in a set of these later on in the year too

 

Dunlop D01J or D02J did a track day that was wet n dry all day and they were interestin in the wet lol but good in dry lasted ok too.

 

No lacquar the wheels were fine all thru winter in the garage and sitting on a Southampton dock with spray from the sea all over them for 3 days. Just the collars, which must be made of a different metal rust orange rust, but clean off easy by hand or with a dremel

Will keep me out of trouble on spring/summer light nights with a beer in the garden


Think it will be funny as with a cheap set of alloys on am looking for the nastiest set.. suggestions

 

the wheels are alloy, the collars need to be harder so are made of steel - which obv rusts. If it's only a small area, brush some clear laquer on. I know u like cleaning, but with time it will start to pit - and then ur screwed. U can always take laquer off if u really want an are back to square one. And get some diamond cut std rims!

 

I was thinking of that actually, brushing a bit of laquar on - but the nuts have sharp edges - will see if they contact the faces of the collars
The best remedy so far has been clean them, and put my favourite Vaseline on them. Looks a mess when it's on, but take it off on good days and all is well

Can't have std rims on now with the stud conversion, without a bit of work. Would like another set of comps perhaps, the guy who i got these from had a barn full of them and these were cheap. See if he has some cheap and nasties when i have some money

 

POP ROUND I'LL LUB EM UP FOR YA ,

 

You need little fingers like mine



can't believe i just said that

 

show me a pic
