R888s Against F1s
What are peoples general thoughts about both tyres. Toyo R888s and Goodyear F1s. How do they compare? dry and wet weather and wear?

but you cant really compare them 
the r888's will out perfrom the f1's 10 feld over in the dry
the r888's will work in the wet, EXCEPT for standing water
f1's were made for all weathers and perform in the wet very well, but in the dry, they have no chance against the r888

You make the F1's sound shit in the dryBasically, they are probably both the best for their classes
R888's for tack, and F1's for road

i'm not making them sound shit,
else i would never have bought them i even bought them for the mrs car too
what i'm saying is how can you compare these two tyres???
you can only compare the r888's against tyres lke the djo2's and a408's as they are the same "type" of tyre

You cannot compare them at all, hence me saying what I did
They are both GOOD tyres for their purpose!
R888's for track, and F1's for road

The sidewalls are stiff on R888s, to the point where you could go up a size in aspect ratio, and not notice any more flex/ lateral movement over a more 'conventional' tyre.
I used 195/50/15 R888s on my Pug 205 when a 195/45/15 would have been perhaps more ideal - as long as they fitted on the car I was determined to have them as the dry grip is awesome, and makes a compromise elsewhere well worth it.
Martin is the cheapest place I've found for the R888s too
