Bought some Apex Arc-8s. Going to go 325 in the back. For this season and maybe next till I can justify getting an actual drag pack, I want to put r888rs on the rims. I plan to do some road coursing/autocross and street stuff.



I know they are noisy. If I run the r888rs in the back. Is there another option I should run in the front besides r888r to cut down the noise but be a great cornering tire? Running 305s in the front.



2017 ZL1 and puts down around 670 to wheels.



Thanks!

Im actually in the same situation as you. Similar horsepower and plans. I've been toying around with the idea of 305 NT01s up front and R888R 325 out back. I would have went NT01s all around but I really want a Y rated tire on this car so I can have more than enough headroom on any track. Only the NT01 305/30/19 is Y rated for my sizes.

Could we get some more input on this from other members? I'm fairly certain it wouldn't be a problem on the street or even rolls/digs. I think it'd be more of a problem when it comes to handling while autocross and road coursing.

I hear the R888R only lasts a few laps on track days while the NT01s go a lot longer. Considering the front tires get worn faster on track days, I'm thinking this setup -might- be viable?

ended up getting a deal on rear r888rs. I understand they wont last, But I bet I dont hit a track day for a year or two with kids so young so for the street it will do okay.



Still need to decide on the front. I also looked at the NT01s. or do you just get cup 2s?

Update on this. Honestly looking at the Kumho Ecsta v730s. It will get me through a season and they are cheap.

Personally, for what you'd spend on the R888Rs, I'd just get a dedicated sticky tire and use street tires otherwise...
