Loud but the traction is nuts. No wheel spin yet and I'm running over 680/680 whp/lbft tq.
If I get 4,000 miles out of them I'll be happy.
Is your car lowered and or running spacers with the Toyo and 343m?

Sorry but browsing this forum on a mobile phone doesn't show signatures or location info, etc.

I am lowered on H&R springs and running 12mm spacers all around and think the look is perfect. I suspect that I'll need to get rid of the rear spacers if I go with 315 Toyo.

Right now I'm having some traction issues on stock pirellis and don't think 305 pzeros will help much. Thanks.

No, MCarsFan is not lowered nor has spacers. I do know a guy who is with spacers and had no issues

On the 305s, traction was great but of course after a few k miles it became an issue again as with other tires.

R888 are grip monsters. I plan to mount them on my car next week. I'm running 21" Vorsteiners now with PSS and I am lowered. I will mount them on my 343Ms

If you're using be mobile app, go to settings and enable the signature view

Thanks. Show signature has always been checked, but I still don't see them when browsing on the phone.

Still deciding on which tire to get and probably will do 5mm spacers regardless.

R888s will be great for the summer. 305s PZeros are a big improvement over 295s IMO..

Well I went with the 305 99Y Pzeros. Following some of your other posts on the longevity of the R888, I would definitely get caught in the rainy months with the toyos since I drive <5000/year, and probably not as aggressive as your driving. I hope the 305 pirellis make a noticeable difference in traction. Thanks again.

I went the same route. The R888 will only be good for >3000 miles and of course besides being noisy they suck on water.

I did get a set of R888 to mount on the spares to run in and still have my other wheels for DD

You'll enjoy the 305s. Let us know who they go for you

You guys have MSR stage 3 tunes, must be crazy power in the 700s? I see why you went with R888.

No idea on absolute numbers but it's nasty fast. R888s are going to last at the most until the end of summer. They are such soft compound tires. Ask m6beast or dmetuning if you want to get some details on numbers.

Ive been running 305's Michelin PSS for 6 months and just seen what the extra width did to the tire on the inside (very hard to see unless off the car), im guessing ill need to adjust the camber for the next set.. Anyone else had this of were these just bad tires, they look like whole shoulder of the tire had tons of extra wear

I had this on mine, did a wheel alignment but it didn't show any big difference in camber from before, really don't know what to look for now for being the cause?

Recently found out the factory set the rear camber at -2 which is too strong for most, so just had mine re-adjutsed to -1 (which is the furthest you can go) and the drive is MUCH better, giving better more even contact to the road, and better handling. Hopeing the tires don't wear so bad now

Presume that is with stock tyre size 295/30/20 & 265/35/20

Would it be same with wider rear tyres?

It's possible that the rim under supports the side walls on 305's ?

In your experience do the 305 P Zeros provide enough traction for roll racing or are the R888s the only way to go when tuned with downpipes/intake?

My 2p's worth:

P Zeros should be banned, these were the worst of any tire we tried, even a budget tire could do better, they wheel spin in 3rd on stock power

Just curious, if you ran 103Y I would agree. 0 traction, horrible handling, and too much sidewalk/bulging.

99Y fit perfectly and handled much better than PSS. Traction with 690whp was not an issue. Several guys I knew with same tunes had same opinion.

Thanks for the feedback. I think I'm gonna give the pirelli's a shot before trying the toyos as this is my daily.

Dude your figures just relate to the load rating, not the compound or tread type, even the mighty Pirelli (P Zero) Trofeo R just can't hook our beasts until top of 3rd gear.

Certainly not dissing your opinion but i do have thoughts on what your saying here

You really need an R compound to do the job IMO

I agree R compound is the way to go for our power level, however, it's not a daily driver tire. For everyday driving, the PSS and Pzero do a good job. I agree it's not all about the load rating, however, on the PZero, going with the 103Y tire will create the issues you mentioned. This is not due to load rating but other variables with that specific model tire. The bulge on that tire is horrendous and there are all kind of handling / traction issues. The construction of the 103Y tire vs the 99Y is totally different. I'm not a tire expert so I have no way to explain it other than to tell everyone to avoid the 103Y on the 305 PZeros ... lol

Has anyone fitted toyo R888R 315/30/20 to an F10 m5 lowered on H&R springs?
I still have the original springs for the rear but would rather not put her back to standard if I don't have to.

I only use the car in good dry weather so no worries about the wet.
