I selected the Toyo R888 as a replacement to the standard fitment of Yoko Advan 0048's which are the Lotus standard fit. The Yoko tyre is only available through a Lotus dealer and is much more expensive. Once the R888's are warm the grip level increases dramatically giving excellent adhesion with the road surface. They do lack rigidity compared to the Advan 0048's which have been specifically designed for the Lotus Exige's cornering ability. All in all an excellent replacement tyre and will continue to use the R888's.

With a clear conscience recommend it to people who likes a fast ride and good grip ... especially those pursuing the quarter mile. The best tire for severe driving with road homologation.

I am driving the Focus RS Mk II. Such conduct not experienced on any tires. Keeping Incredible !!! Stable when braking from high speeds. I advise you to be careful on the wet;). Economics ...- forget;) To sum up: others already in the summer do not buy!

For me Toyo R 888 is simply outstanding! I did one race on them and I have never had tyres with such a grip :) Actually I put them on for test and they were lot better than Pirelli P6. The handling and grip is so amazing that I could not have imagined. On a tarmac covered by little sand or mud the grip is perfect and also in wet we have good control over the vehicle. I did not drive in rain yet. However, the tyres are loud actually.

Very cool trackday tyre, but you can also drive on it in everyday life. The tyre is loud, however. On the track - better than Bridgestone, but the tread wears fast. I was on the road in heavy rain and it has to be really thick layer of water for this tyre to lose its grip. In normal wet asphalt the Toyo R 888 grip is also good. In this price - the best choice for racing!

As for me, great, yet I had no tyres stick so well on dry and wet ;) also excel very well I'd say even better than continental contact sport, and the only thing that can prevent a complete lack of grip at the entrance in a rut filled with water, but what expect from the tyre. I recommend with all my heart but my advice avoid ruts in the rain ;)

Very specific tyre, loud, very hard and extremely splashing on cars coming from behind / big thick mist that effectively reduce the visibility / ;-) However, the car grip on these tyres is simply unbelievable! Car really hard to destroy the track. I would recommend to those skilled in the subject.

You will not buy better tracktyre tyre with road approval. The grip is simply outstanding, but earlier I thought that Toyo R 888 are worse tyres than Bridgestone or Goodyear, but they are simply not good as Toyo is. I cannot write anything about the treadwear yet, because it is to early. On slightly wet asphalt the grip is perfect. There is only one disadvantage and this is noise.
