Yeah but you cant beat them in the dry for the money!

Intresting in the snow i bet!:nono:
 
My hankook's arent much better mate! been a right disaster lol
 
Driven in the snow a bit with my car on R888s, think this smiley shows how affective they were

:lol:
 
i drove my 9 last year when it snowed even heavier. Had my R888 and i got stuck. Needed the guys from the grit truck to help me move. They are useless in snow.
 
i pumped my 888's up to 50 psi

there better than when they where 34psi but the still **** in the snow
 
That video is strange, there is only snow on the road, nowhere else, how odd!
 
these r888 semis had problem with cold ? right ?
i remember toyo's anounsment that the rubber gets hard with extremely cold and breaks into pieces !
 
I just don't see why anyone would have these tyres on their road car over winter? Is it really worth the risk?

Click to expand...

that was the TR1 model iirc

not R888 anyway
 
i suppose all tires are crap in snow not just toyo or hankook or any other performance tires
 
dunlop sp wintersports.... had them on a customers new z4 3.5i big improvement over the 19's it came in on in the snow but with that kind of engine 10% throttle is still too much
