Need some track tyres. Where to get R888s

[Martin.]

I'm after a set of these. Wondered where's best to buy them.

I've come across a few posts for group buys on these and discounts offered from some members.

Is there anything along these lines actually happening?

Remember some members mentioning they can get very cheap prices from their suppliers.

Top Marques in Coulsdon can get them if your after somewhere local to purchase/fit them for you.

other than that, Camskill, my Tyres etc.
Just remember to cost in fitting if you buy them online elsewhere, some places can charge a fortune if you haven't bought the tyres from them.

Oh really cheers man I will look into that. Nice to have somewhere local ish.

How was your ring trip??

I'd get the federal RSR better for the money IMO

 

[Martin.]

Really ok cheers I'll consider them too. For OZ F1s the correct fitment is 195/50 R15 isn't it.

 

[Kelv]

That's correct Martin

Yeah,, the RSR are very good on track also can get a lot more wear out of them than the 888

I've got ad08s not tried them on track yet but heard good things and they'll last loads longer than r888s. Too many horror stories out there about federal RSRs cracking and delaminating.

Which is all rubbish as has been proven before.
The max5 race series use these as control tyres & no problems whatsoever.
These guys race on them not pussy round doing a few trackdays.
The cracks people report & panick at actually wear away as the m3 photos from before showed.
The photos of the r26r from ages back with a chunk missing & cracks have been on my mates car for 15 or more trackdays.

Not sure where you've read all that, that sounds more like someone hasn't used them properly.

Only saying what I've read. And what I've read is enough for me to buy similar priced ad08s.
