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.
195/45/14 toyo proxes are splendid. I loved that set up.
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.
Well, on the T1-R, its the more upgraded tread design, the T1-S has always had shoulder wear issues, where it will tend to wear out fast than the rest. with the T1-R, they have included lateral ribbing that helps disapate the wear on them, making them last alot longer.
toyo is the best easily available tire for the job. nice profile on them. kumho's look like crap stretched (or not stretched)
It varies from tyre brands,i have 8x15 with toyo proxes and compared it to another 8x15 with kleber and the kleber tyre looked like 205 compared to the toyo (on identical rims)
toyos wear fast.
