if you speak to a bloke called alan meaker at toyo he informed me they should fit but obviously thats a should not a guarantee
R888's have a much squarer sidewall than normal?
I've run 205's & 195's of 'normal' tyres on a 7J rim both not over hanging for info

mrsB wont use anything but R888's.Ant FR said:
just had to fit some more on her car as she hated T1-R's (did'nt like em either)
Fine in wet or dry, winter or summer.
not long lastingbut great and grippy and good strong sidewalls.
50 profile might still be an issue as these tyres seem to be on the larger than advertised size and have very square edges
There not a bad price from camskill at the moment, T1-r's are not as good as the T1's i reckon. Looks like i will have to do a little more research.
t1-s were good, t1-r are dissapointing.
R888's are excellent.
bought mine thru Camskill - get a frequent buyer discount now lol

i bought Goodyear f1's for the first time ever and christ they are f*****g dangerous to put it mildly. What a complete disapointment. 
i thought Toyo T1S were the chepster of the tyre world hence the price difference. but i've ran toyo t1r's & t1s's for some time now and they're great incomparsin.
How much are 225 x 17 r888's ?

If the F1's were new, bed em in first!
Eagle F1 GSD3 is a better tyre than T1-S in my experience (especially wet grip)

its the amount of roll roll iv'e got by fitting them on,its serously nasty. example cruising at 70 mph and if you turn to overtake of come off a junction its scarey. You get the feeling the back end is going to fling out and you going to end up in a spin. the worst tyres i've ever had ~ comparable to my old landrover's cross ply and i'm not joking.

what size you got and on what size rims?
yours got the rim protectors?
what tyre pressure?
no roll on mine when I ran em on 215-40-16 on 7.5J rims @ 35psi

Wheel spec 17" x 7.5"ej
Tyre spec 215 x 40 ZR 17 83W
tyre pressure 32 psi
the rim proctecters seem huge also, but i didn't have a choice when purchasing them though. they look the business and for £60.00 per corner believe me i want them to work. maybe adust psi to 36psi

Madmile: Did a search on this thread wile back ago, didnt get any ideal answeres thou, but came up with -Yokohama A048 (spescial lotus edition) 195/50 16" The tyre looks wicked and from what I heard it beats the h... out of r888, but then again its a lot more expensive.
