I like to look of the R888s on the OEM Fuchs…fat tire with the deeper dish wheels…any feedback from you fellow Pelicans on comparative performance? Are there any other options out there?
Thanks in advance for your input!

RE71s are excellent tires they compare in grip to NT01 which compares to the Toyos you have
I like the 225/45 & 245/45 set better than 205/55 & 245/45 but for street use it really doesn't matter
If I were going RE71 in 16 i'd want 215/45 & 225/40 on 7 & 8
you don't mention the wheel widths but if you have 9s you really need 245/45
if you have 7 & 8
205/50 and 225/45 R1R is an attractive option for the more sporting driver also avaiable in A052s which also off the 225/45 & 245/45 option
