taken form the toyo au site.

"...NOTE: The Proxes R888 is legal for use on public roads in Australia but is designed for motor sport applications (including road / tarmac rallies). Compared to street radials, Toyo motor sport tyres will have comparatively faster wear rates and increased ride harshness..."

I'd like a set of the R1Rs but they don't come in 245*45/16

R888's are great on the track but very noisy at low speed. They need some more time to get warm. Until they get warm they slip a lot. They offer much higher grip than street tires. Not recommended for wet roads.

I have them on my '88.
