I love mine. But a good bit of road noise though.

I have no idea, this set up is the highest HP/TQ levels that I have ran the R888Rs at. Ask me this question again in late spring of 2019, I will be able to tell you then, wink, wink.

I am sold on these. Next spring and 19" wheels. I hope I can get close to the stock offset.
I did move the connector out of the well but left the harness alone. When these 315s are done I am going to the 325 so I may move the entire harness then.

Looking forward to your next set of width comparisons!

I wish. That was my original plan but that got canned when I ripped a hole in one of the sidewalls.

Just don’t see me getting a chance to get them fitted this week, busy with work and then we leave for a week of vacation/gokart racing this weekend.

After driving on these tires for a few miles, I'm not convinced that they hook a whole lot better than the stockers (once they had warmed up anyway). Granted, these don't have the long warm up period of the Goodyears.

They do lay down a significant amount of rubber though when you peel out. I've left some serious 11's from Stop light pulls that would barely have left a mark with the Goodyears.

At what tire pressure are you running them?

I think quite high, like maybe 38 in the rear

I’ve had them on my 5th gen for several months now. Great summer tire. I’ve road coursed with them, drove to CFest, raced at NCM, drove back. They are not a great rain tire — any kind of standing water and they feel like skates — experienced this in the way to CFest.

I run 29 lbs cold and they warm up to 32 and work great there. When warmed up, they stick like glue!

Damnit!!! I hate you. Now I am ditching the Roto-Fab & getting the K&N Carbon Fiber CAI. That set-up is sexy..

That is too high for any tire to work properly.

This is a very good starting point!
