275/40/20 28.7
285/30/20 26.7
305/35/20 28.7

Toyo R888R
285/30/20 26.8
285/35/20 27.9
305/35/20 28.4

From my research, the 555R hook well, (I have a set, but I'm stock) but cornering leaves something to be desired.

The E/T street S/S I hear hook even better than the 555R's at the track....but wear quicker and not as good on the street as people say they're softer.

The Toyo R888R is what I decided to go with in a 285/35/20 to DD (I have 305/35/18 Nitto 555R for the track).

I've been researching this for 2 weeks. I hear nothing but good things about the R888R. A lot of High HP cars use them and love them. They're a little noisy....but they all said they'd buy them again. Pretty much everyone said best tire they've ever ran. Hook great in the street. Not much info as a DR though. These are a road course tire that is streetable.

Disclaimer: the 305/35 listed above all require at least a 10" wheel. That being said, several Hellcat and SS owners have put this tire on their stock 9.5" wheels with no issues....just saying.
I am running 285/30 and 305/30’s now. I have 10 and 11in rims, but I thought we needed 30, not 35’s.

With any of these tires, would I want to get matching front and rear, or would I really just need new rear tires?
