Same here, wanting to buy the Toyo’s....just to confirm, no rubbing or need to relocate anything, correct?

[RDBill]

Thank you guys! You confirmed everything i've read but eased my mind before making the purchase

Can you please post a picture of how the sidewall looks at an angle? I'm afraid it'll poke out too much. I want this tire badly.

The Toyo R888 and R888R are fantastic choices for high HP street cars that don't want to run a wobbly drag radial or slick. Yes, they have tire hum and wear quickly and you will not want to run them in a downpour or in cold (<40-50 degree) weather. However, these characteristics are true of ANY high performance tire in this class.

There are lots of members running 20" R888Rs on stock wheels on this forum, and they, like everybody else I know that runs them, rave about the tires and simply point out their normal trade offs of a high performance tire.

A Michelin Sport 4S is not in the same league as a R888R. The 4S is a great street tire for most conditions and handles LIGHT track use. The SC2 is a great tire as well, however, it does not have as much longitudinal traction as the R888/R888R. The RE71 is a great tire too, not a ton of experience with them so I won't speak with them but I've heard great results from the forums.

The R888R is my top recommendation for a high performance street tire if you can handle the trade offs. Note: if you can't handle the trade offs of the R888R then you won't be able to handle the trade offs of any tire with similar grip.

I’ve had my R888Rs for over a year.

Can'tHave2MuchHP Is absolutely right on with the analysis... like roller skates in the rain...

Love mine. Stock 5th Gen ZL1 wheels, I have 2 sets! 1 set for street, 1 set for track days (local track ;o)





And yes, Z/LE — built this 5 years ago before any talk of a ZL1 1LE (ZL1, 1LE, Z/28 GMPP parts) - Recaros too!

Awesome, I can live with that. Thanks.

[DOHCVTEC]

so how bad is the noise? what can you compare it to?

[Spidamanz]

will a 315/30/20 fit on my 17 SS 1LE with out rubbing? I am assuming if they fit the zl1 with out issues that that I should be fine. I know they wont work on the SS with out modification.

Yes they'll fit without issue. Look at Lethal Garage's videos on it.

I still don't think you can find a better 20" tire for the money than the factory Goodyear. I thought they were great for street and track.

Toyo R888 & R versions hum like monster mudders too

On the 6th gen you have to move the Driver side rear tire wire harness and use a 5mm spacer, this is at least from what Lethal Garage is saying. Skip to 10:35 and he starts to talk about:

What sizes are you running?


What is your opinion of them? Do they hook? Are they as noisy as I read? Any fitment issues?


Would you buy them again? Basically any information you could give me i'd appreciate so I can make a decision on what tires to go with next.


I'm looking for a sticky street tire.... This car is not daily driven and makes more than stock power.

IMO. Best street/drag tire out b4 going full drag radial. Will hold up to around 750 HP. Anything over and you need a DR. They start blowing off once you hit 800 HP. If you don't plan on going that high on HP, I'd go with another tire like the 4S or staying with the Goodyears. Again, just my opinion.

BFG 285/35-20’s on the front
R888R 315/30-20’s on the back

No issues at all
