Im using the pair of wheels with R888s on the front while I get my wheels refurbed.What pressure should i be using on the road.?

Exactly as the handbook states.

OK,thanks for that.I thought it may be lower because the side walls are so much stiffer.

What pressure will it be for Street Race (quarter mile) ?

i find 32PSI (2.2bar) best for road driving and 1/4 mile!

You can't do that, they're not road tyres. See here:

No real mention of road use in that thread,ill drop them down to 32psi as Marco says and try that.

These guys are racing on the track, not driving on the road

It doesnt matter what the tread pattern is, or how hard/soft the tyre is, you still should run a tyre at the correct pressure for road use.

trust me at that psi they feel the best!!

i spent MANY hours at tesco's air pump starting at 34psi testing it on a set of round abouts till i found that works, i went lower but it didnt feel right!

32psi is bang on!

let me know how you get on!

Will do mate but Im no Lewis Hamilton.

I've used these tyres on the road and track and you have to be very careful with them. They have very stiff sidewalls as standard so too much pressure and you'll be reducing the grip considerably. Given they are poor in standing water, you have to be all the more careful.

yes mate I'll be taking it steady in the rain.

There is some guys which runs Toyo R888 with a 1,5 bar tyre pressure. Ill try with 2,2 bar. We have a testday in March and ill see thze results...

so lets say you used these tyres on the road for normal driving how long do you think they will last for and in the rain how bad are they are?

haha in the rain i cant see these being very good!!

dry days and warm weather...2 weeks lol

lol i was thinking of getting some as summer tyres for my coop but is this a good idea

Depends how you drive on the road! I remember a guy had 3000 miles out of them on the road in his elise. In standing water they are useless as I found out driving down the motorway to a trackday once. If it's just raining it depends on the car. Heavier the better I would say to get some heat into them.

i would bhe putting between 4000-8000 miles on them so atleast one set then.
i don't drive to mad but i know they make a big difference to handling and performance

The wear fast on road (expensive) but slow on track (great!).
As soon as it rains they do suck. Good Year F1's are superior even on trackdays, in rain.

I use them for everyday (not on winter of course) and think they are the best, even on water they are quite decent, but not on load of standing water...
