[QUOTE="Jimmysidecarr, post: 12084480, member: 11681"] [B][SIZE="3"]The Toyo R888 is a top shelf, DOT R compound road racing tire with excellent tread depth [/SIZE][/B]so if you do get caught off guard in the rain, the car will still be drive-able. The tire carcass is more robust than a drag radial too and will handle turns better than a street tire, which handle better than a drag radial. Straight line hook is comparable to most drag radials and the compound is very similar as well. There are also other brands of R compound road race tires that are good choices but some do not have as deep a tread, so they may not be as effective in the rain. Pretty much, except a lot of drag radial lovers in here just don't seem too willing to give them a try. Two very different tires for mostly street driving. [B][SIZE="3"]Just to be clear, the R888 is not a drag radial, so it is not in "the drag radial world".[/SIZE][/B] Drag radial and R compound road race tires LIKE the R888, are both however considered R compound tires. Only DR is a drag radial and an R compound road race tire most certainly is not. Drs are not the only choice for improved traction on high powered cars, and certainly not the best choice. :nonono: [B][SIZE="4"]In fact DRs are probably the largest contributing factor to most Terminator totals, as well as most grenaded IRS components.[/SIZE][/B] [/QUOTE]
