I just got my new set of Toyo proxy888 235/35/19 & 265/30/19, they are wider than my 245/275 set up. I'm gonna run them on my oem wheels as. Have before. These are sweet, sticky tires! And I love the tread.

 

nice! I just got new ones again a few weeks ago myself! Nothing better than brand new sticky race tires.

 

Please give some feedback at the track Darbs.

As for my contribution of tires at the track:

P Zero Ultraperformance Summers - OMG Fantastic new (less than 1k miles), barely any slippage around 30-40 mph corners at track. But then after 10K miles later, they are horrible at the same track, absolutely horrible. The performance of these tires gets exponentially worse after each 3-5k miles it seems like. So little value in return for tires that are the most expensive with an expected 45K mile tread life.

PS2 - Fantastic new, fantastic at 3K miles later, still great grip at 5K miles later. I believe these have a 15K tread life.

 

These 888's are not for the street.... Hah I don't think they would last 5 k ...but the last longer than street tires at at track temp.

 

Darbs do you mean drag strip or a track day like watkins glen??

 

These are for road coursing , I run 275/40/17 mickey's on Volk re30 at the strip on the back with my street tires on the front. If you wanna do a hpde at walk ins sometime let me kow, I would go.

 

Tell that to the Supra guys. Lol we run these on our Supra for the street.

 

I don't feel it's nessasary for 500hp on the street... Track these and daily something with higher tread wear. I just can't justify the 1600 bucks a set installed for how long they last. What do you get out of a set

 

Ah sounds good. My best friend and the rest pf the group that I go to track days with were going to Watkins glen in august with the Porsche club of America, but it got sold put very quickly. On wait lost though. For track days I use Michelin pilot super sports. At VIR I was able to run 2:21.056 as my fastest lap. I'm one track day away from soloing in the yellow group with the trackdaze organization.

 

Yeah they are not needed on a 500whp or less car on the street. They last about 5k miles on the street with the Supra, usually 800whp+ guys. Either these or drag radials.

 

sweet tires. my friend rode these tires for the streets on his 500whp 350z for 10k miles. great tires that hooked up all that power.

 

Those tires look sweet, man.

I got 18" Nitto NT-01's 245/275 for my 22RE Hilux Autocrossing has never been faster!
