SiGainey 1 Posted January 8, 2008 Report Share Posted January 8, 2008 The 888's I've read are lethal in the wet - pick carefully Link to post Share on other sites
jims13 6 Posted January 9, 2008 Report Share Posted January 9, 2008 thats bollox, ive got the new toyo proxes, best bloody tyres ive ever had wet or dry Link to post Share on other sites
jims13 6 Posted January 9, 2008 Report Share Posted January 9, 2008 of course, 888 will be street legal race tyres , so will have next to no tread pattern.. so in the wet they probaly will be lethal Link to post Share on other sites
SiGainey 1 Posted January 9, 2008 Report Share Posted January 9, 2008 Yup, that's the problem I've read, very little tread to pull the water away... Link to post Share on other sites

jesterwalker69 0 Posted January 10, 2008 Report Share Posted January 10, 2008 Cost at the end of the day. Its come round so fast! I could get enough money together for the whole trip but it would involve working most weekends! Plus i wanted to get a few safety things sorted out before i went (brakes, lower ARB etc) and i just havent had the time!So as opposed to going in a car that i wasnt 100% confident with, i would rather spend the money on sorting her out for the show season.There's always next year Link to post Share on other sites
