this was a really cool video concept do you think you guys will do more of these videos with other tires? I'd like to see your guys opinion on other tires like FALKEN AZENIS RT615K+ and FIRESTONE FIREHAWK INDY 500
I was literally just googling these as an option. You guys are good. Ok I finished the video, I would like to have something I can daily on but yet go and have fun with. I was gonna go offset. Any suggestions?

What do you think of the R888 cruising in the rain? Is it ok to drive because I might get caught in it while driving home from my trip weather forecast are unpredictable. Thanks
@@FitmentIndustries just an update driving my R35 in the storm from Bowie, MD to Ocean City held up pretty good cruising at 70mph. I mean it drives like a normal car. It changed my confidence level for the better having the r888r tires on my GT-R weather if it is rain or shine the tire works well on the road. Thank you
I’ll be running about 650whp and need a tire that will stick. For anyone that knows about tire please help. Is this the best tire for traction with big power.
I put them on one my fox bodies and nearly jumped a curb by over correcting. They are definitely a great handling tire and super sticky! Hooked better than Nitto D/R’s
@@florimshala1 get a louder exhaust or turn up the tunes lol. There’s always that trade off, but these Fox bodies have never been accused of being a quiet car lol
I use 345 NT05R on my supercharged C6Z. They last two seasons or so at the strip and are very cheap. I was getting 1.5-1.6 60’ with too much positive camber, so it could do better.
the NTO5 is a great daily + track tire for the money. NT01 is pretty much track only. both Nitto and Hankook offer very good value vs performance. Hankook RS4 is also a great one. are any of these tires good in the rain? hell no. will any of them have good tread life? that's a big hell no.
I am after a tire that can hook up good even when cold with 500lbft tq. RWD. I currently have Yokohama AD08R and they are really good, but if the road surface is not new and grippy, then they don't do a good job. My LSD is being built currently. What tire would you recommend?
💥💥 Hey, I’m back and scratch my previous comment below. I’ve called around for my tire size and these R888R tires are the only brand in the world that fit my rear rim size. 315/35/17. I called Tire Rack and they said that they won’t sell them to me if I’m using them on the road since they are intended for autocross. I’m confused because you are reviewing these as road tires and I’m hoping for sone feedback on that. Thanks. So frustrated and confused… 🤟🏼
Just ask a shop to order them for you. Most tire shops will put whatever you want on your car if it fits. And their wholesellers don't restrict tire purchases whatsoever. I work at a shop and my coworkers have gotten everything from r888rs to drag slicks without question.
my mechanic is saying these are too soft and ill tear em up in one season ? EJ8 with b18 type r swap. thoughts? he suggest ed the neo gen from Nitto. but i fucking love the look of these. :/ me dunno dude.
If you are worried about the noise , you are not going fast enough. These tires do make some sound at cruising speed but that’s all part of the experience. I can no lift shift through the twisties and not upset the car. I am going to start hoarding these now.
@@cg7life357 I sure hope they do more than 110 cause I hit 130-140 in my Evo 9 regularly and I'm on Firestone Firehawk Indy 500 255/40R17 and the R888r are better tires.
@@franciscocruz6726 I'm on 4 different tires .I feel dangerous with the crappy tires I have.i wish I had better tires so I can keep up.mind u im a 4 cyl motor

you have no road noise because they don't stick out lol... mine stick out an inch out the fender #mexiflush and they are HELLA LOUD! i still love them tho!
I have these and the MPSS on a different set of rims. The R888r is a way stickier tire, that holds power better and corners better in more aggressive situations than the PSS. Nobody should buy these R888r for daily driving, that’s not what they are built for, they are built to handle high HP applications on the weekends.
I do some track days, when my car isn’t on a track might do occasional Sunday cruise. BMW M2 comp... never daily driven or driven in wet. Tossing up between these or Michelin sport cup 2.... anybody have any recommendations
Fitment Industries keep us posted! You should do like a 90 day review. R888R are sexy but MP4S for me though. The R888R looks super scary in the rain. Maybe I’ll try them as my next set anyway. There is nothing better than a sexy new aggressive tire.
Sorry guys, but the deeper you get into technical stuff, the less sense you make... And a semi-slick review after only 150 miles of putting around in traffic? Come on...
Like Alex said, he wasn't reviewing for the extremely hard drivers at all times. Just more of a regular driving tire that you can still get free spirited.
The truth about R888R's is that they're not drag tires. They're R compound track day/circuit tires, lol.
I’ve seen 900hp 720s and and 800hp hellcat lose 0 traction on these on a unprepped drag strip. Solid tire.

That's the kind of tire review I was hoping for, great job!
Good to hear, we are planning on doing more!
circular tires are my favorite.
round, all around baby
More of a square tire kinda guy myself
Dominic D'Archangelo I’m more of a diamond guy
Im on the square team
I prefer spherical
I’m sure this tire would be great in a city like SD where we see perfect weather almost all year long.
I have them on my rx7 fd and it handles the power easily and I’ve yet to break them free going into a corner while letting off
Benjamin Paquin me too😊
Awesome to hear!
My brother has an FD RX7, but if I’m correct he’s running some Michelin pilot super sports. Have you ran those before?
i went Nitto NTO5 315/35 on widebody Redeye , i will say Huge diff over the stockers.

Bridgestone Potenza RE-71R
OOOFFF yeassss
Yokohama Advan Neova AD08R ;) RE-71R's are just a copy
Huh? Where do you get that idea. Other than being extreme performance summer tires these two aren't even close!
You guys definitely need to review these!
Sport Cup 2s all day. Dunlop Direzza Star Spec 2s are a notable mention, as well.

the ad08r is more road focused. better in the wet and not so good in the dry.

The original 888 is a better wet tire. R888R is a better dry tire

People can’t expect a tyre to perform the best in both categories it’ll just never happen
Expecting a tyre to dissipate water but also have maximum contact with the road 😂
Where is the water meant to go? Unless of course they make a perforated tyre in the future?! But then how would the tyre remain inflated🤷🏽♂️
I’d imagine they don’t sound as good after they really start to wear.
We're not sure yet!
Fitment Industries keep us posted! You should do like a 90 day review. R888R are sexy but MP4S for me though. The R888R looks super scary in the rain. Maybe I’ll try them as my next set anyway. There is nothing better than a sexy new aggressive tire.
