Reply to "Toyo Proxes R888 tires ???"

I replaced a set of 14 year old Yokohama A032R's on my 930 with Nitto NT01's last October. A032R's had the same rep for whining on the road as the R888 but it was easy to live with.

I was on the fence between the two, R888's are better in the wet and NT01's seem to have a slight edge in the dry. I run full tread Toyo RA1's as intermediates on my 944 race car. The Nitto NT01 is supposed to be the same compound with different tread. I'd have gone with RA1's easily if they had the proper sizing...

The decision was easy when DiscountTire Direct had a sale on Ebay with $100 off on orders over $400. The 275/40R17 fronts were $302 delivered ($100 off) and 315/35R17 rears were $370 delivered ($100 off). Date codes were May 2016 for the rears and August 2016 for the fronts.
