I currently have the Toyo R888 and R888r on my radar, but I wanted ya’lls opinion on a tire that’s still gonna hook while minimizing possible breakage.

The R888R is a great street tire for high HP cars. It’s very stable in cornering and highway speeds. But, it’s not a good drag race tire since the sidewall is stiff. The MT ET Street R is available as a radial and hooks great at the strip. You can drive it on the street to the track with no drama too.
