i use 888's on the track, and couldn't be happier! they are the bomb. on the street, they are pretty damn loud, sounds, and feels like the car is on dyno rollers... you can use them daily, just refrain from pushing too hard in the wet - i have driven many times in the wet, but just took it easy and all was fine. on the track with some heat on them, they are unbelieveable, you just laugh at the grip and control especially if you are running coilovers and bbk.
The Toyo RA-1s were my first set of \"real\" track tires and wow, who knew that there was such a difference between high performance street and competition tires? They are excellent and are on my car 100% of the time since there's not much daily driving duty for my R32 anymore.
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.
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.
