Yes I run the R888 and have been very happy with them. I mainly use my car for tarmac rallies and some of the events have been wet and the tyre still performs well though I wouldn't push extremely hard in the wet with them.
The r888 is starting to replace the RA1 herer in the US. They are fine in the wet until the tread gets to 4/32. At 4/32 the tire essentially becomes a slick with 2 grooves that go around the tire. They are great tires though! I have them on my track car and couldnt be happier.
I had BBS LM's on my 04 GTI (not an R32). 19x8.5 et 25 trying to remeber the tire size either 225/35/19 or 235/35/19.....i'm drawing a blank,but they where Toyo Proxy 4's and i liked them a lot.
Based on the fact of how much I hate my Toyo Proxy 4's (235/45/17)and the lack of response I received by contacting Toyo I will no longer consider that brand for anything.
I'll give you my experience fwiw... I've run toyo t1r 245/40/18 and falken rt615 225/40/18. First, let me say that if you're going to 245 you need to run 35 series tires, otherwise your OD goes up. Also, stickyness wise it's a better comparison. For me, there is no comparison to the above two tires on the track, the Falkens are far superior. For the street, I'm not too sure. I imagine the Toyo's would last longer.
My "Q" rated Toyo snows get extremely greasy as soon as the temperature gets to fifty or higher. I love them in temps below freezing, and on icy roads, but they're a little dangerous on warm days.
195/45/14 toyo proxes are splendid. I loved that set up.
The tires I had on my 20th were recalled because of some side wall crakcing that caused them to leak air and les schwab sold me a set of 225/40/18 Toyo somehting or other for $312 out the door because of the hassle I went through with the recalled set I bought from them.
A while back I got some Proxes-4's from Les Schwab for some ridiculous price like $67/tire. I thought it was a good deal.
I ran the Toyo RA1 this weekend at Mt. Tremblant in a 235/40/17 and I really like them, much more grip than the 615, but you need to get the pressures right on them. I did find that at full tread depth I got a little squirm especially if they over heated.
