Really leaning towards trying a set of r888 once I wear these bfg radials out. Not a fan of the BFG's at all now. I'm looking at either the 225 50 15, which is the same size as my current tires, or the 235 50 15. Is it worth the extra 20$ a tire for the 235's(I know it's only 20$ a tire so it's not a big deal but if there isn't a noticeable difference I'll spend the money elsewhere) Sorry if this is in the wrong section, wasn't really sure where to put it.

 

Your making a good choice with the r888's. I swtiched from the MT 225-50-15's and they worked for about 100 miles then they were garbage. I bought a set of 225-50-15's r888's and havent looked back since. Last way longer and hook pretty good. They are not a DR but is a R compound tire. My brother has the 235-50-15's and also had good things to say about them. Cant go wrong with the Toyo r888's. Looks like your finding out the BFG are junk, i cant believe people still buy those...

 

If your rim is wide enough to where you are increasing your contact patch going 235's then yes, if not no.

 

I run a 15x8 235/50/15 now on mine and it is hooking up more then it was on the 225 so there lol. I have yet to get the car aligned or corner balanced correctly so I know there is some more traction available to be had.

 

well im a noob when it comes to that, my wheels are 15x7 so is it worth it?

 

Im running a 235/50/15 608whp. boost by gear. dead hooked a rolling 3rd. Probably makes 520whp-ish in 3rd.

r888 is the way to go!


BTW...that was at 32psi tire pressure.

 

Thinking bout trying some r888 too. Bfg are junk!!!!

 

My bfgs were fine when it made 377. Spun in first but would hold fine after that. Making 500hp is a different story lol. I've got it turned down to 14lbs of boost from 20 and now they spin in second but hook in third and fourth. Just want to give somethin else a try that will let me hook second gear

 

235 50 15 Toyo R888 are great tires. I won't ever use anything else unless its the M&H bias ply

 

What kind of 60' are you guys getting with the R888's?
