Anyone got Toyo R888's on a Cupra?

Was looking to put the Pro Race wheels back on the car, but complete with some sticky rubber. Just wondered if anyone else has done this already and if they are worth the £150 a corner I can get them for.

Ta,

Horace

That sounds a decent deal for Toyo's. Mine were £120 each for Pirelli Pzero's which are useless in the wet on my FR.
Mother has Toyo's on her VDub Scirocco and it handle's like a dream, yes it maybe missing two doors compared to my Leon but still, holds the road very well in the wet and dry. :D

was thinking of doing this a while back but not too sure how long theyd last. was also thinking of getting just two for the front but that might not work very well with normal road tyres at the back and semi slicks at the front.

I've got a full set on order at the moment for the ED30. I'm having them on some 17" TDPR 1.2's for the 1/4 mile and trackdays:)
 
Definately worth getting, I can't think of any better track day tyres. I have them fitted to my 17's for when I do tracks and compared to the Toyo's (proxes t1-r) on my pro race 1.2's they are incredible. Well worth the money and also a lot of people like to buy them 2nd hand so you can get a bit for them when you're done.

Kumho V70A's are supposed to have better 'dry' grip. £10 per corner cheaper too. Don't quite have the same ring to them though...
