JamieP Posted June 15, 2010 Author Share Posted June 15, 2010 Pop Dan Jeffs of Mr Tyre Motorsport an email, he'll give you a price on Dunlop Direzza DZ03Gs. Just called him, £505.25 for a pair delivered, not bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Wilson Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 I get our Pirelli P Zero Corsas here, they USED to do the R888 and the Pilot Sport Cups, but not sure if they still do. http://www.silverlinewheels-tyres.com/motorsport/tyres.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieP Posted June 15, 2010 Author Share Posted June 15, 2010 I cant face spending 500-600 on a pair of rear tyres that only last 5 min, im just going to put some cheap tyres on till i sort some new wheels, 452's and zero grip for the time being, when i go over to wider rears i have some other options.

Gaz6002 Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 I have to say, I've been surprised how good the T1-Rs are holding up on mine. They get loads better when they're warm too. I've done 3000 miles in a month, and believe me I've not held back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luxluc Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 Just been quoted £315 each for the Cups fitted by WIM, cheaper than the R888's but still silly money. Don't forget that the Cups only have 4.5mm profile when new. With your power, that wil be gone very fast. Plus they are very hard to drive in rain - haven't tried that, but that's the result from tests in serveral german car magazines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dangerous brain Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 If I wanted decent gripping tyres I would go for P zero nero's again. Yup they rub out real fast but the wet performance was incredible and the dry performance insane on a very heavy aristo. OK they lasted me one track session but lets be realistic you don't want TC, you want a relatively heavy car and you want grip to put down all that power you've paid a shitload for. How much do you think you'll get tyres for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dr_jekyll Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 im pretty sure thats a pair of tyres i posted out about 6 months ago? could be wrong. but i wouldnt imagen thers many pairs of these floating around . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jevansio Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 So the part worn Cups have just turned up. They feel pretty light. Have to ask, they feel (to the touch) harder than the R888s. Is that because they're been used (not that my used R888s have gone hard they still feel soft). I'm going to have them wacked on anyway to see how they compare, but at £500 a set on the rear the Dunlops are looking a better deal at the mo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 They are a much harder compound, much more suited to fast lorries like Supras and Skylines than the soft R888. Of all the DOT approved street legal "race" tyres they are the best on heavy cars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jevansio Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 Thanks for conforming Chris, you sure can tell just by touching them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jevansio Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 I've been mulling over these part worn Cups and I ain't putting them on, not happy with the wear TBH. I think buying 2nd hand tyres was a mistake. Still not convinced the Cups can put down the power that the R888s can handle so well, I know Chris says the harder compound Cups are great for bigger cars, but my gut tells me I need a tyre as close to the R888s as possible. So guys would you say the Dunlops D03G/Yoko A048 are the closest comparable tyres to the R888s? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirk Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 I rate the dunlops highly for a supra after being out on track in a bpu with these on they hook just like the 888s but dont go off as quickly, although cup sports are the shit whether you want to believe it or not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
