Toyo R888R Drivetrain Issues

Hello, Installed Toyo R888R 315/30/20 and the car acts wierd when I'm at a a high RPM in 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th gear, and remove my foot off the pedal and let the car glide.

As the RPM goes down, there is a fraction of a second where it feels that the car disengages from the gear and continues to glide while not in gear.

When I press the accelerator again it takes a second for the car to notice and then feels like it's going back in gear and drives normally. Also, when I downshift (while the car feels like it's disengaged from gear) the car blips the RPM two times instead of the normal one time blip.

I have an M6 and my brother has an M5. It happenes to both our cars. Also, when I disengage traction control it doesn't happen as much in the lower gear (4th).

- Is this happening to anyone else?
- Is it bad for the drivetrain?
- is there a solution?

Hope this makes sense to some users here. Thanks

Did you try to re adapt the clutches? What mods are you running?

I had the issue with mine when I went with 305/35-20 R888r's but was the beginning of the end with my DCT as I have 1,000 wtq

I don't think it is the DCT. The reason why I say that is because when I switch back to the normal sized Pirelli tires this doesn't happen.

I tried readapting the clutches but the issue still happened.

I could see a tire with higher sidewall like mine cause a change in the DT and would have to adjust but not changing the width and type of tire.

Next set of rears I'm going to go with 315/30-20 or 325/30-20 if they will fit.

I had this issue on my 2015 M5. Some cars seems to be more sensitive to it than others.

Some people have an issue some dont. Its a difference between the diameter of the front and rear tires.

Likely you need to upsize your fronts to 285/35/20 R888R.

Best,
