Toyo R888r on Z-28?
Has anyone tried the new Toyo R888r?
From my discussion with my Tire Rack salesman it seems worth considering for a mostly track use Z-28. Any feedback is appreciated.

Proxes R888 are decent. They are noisy, but who cares on track. Wear is very good compared to the Trofeos. You may also consider Bridgestone RE71R or Michelin 4S Pilot Sport. Of course, Nitto NT01 are also a possibility.

These R888R are at the top of my list as my next tire.

ok...the R version is the new and improved...go for it! Please give feedback and a review! Price is the same between the standard R888 and the "R" version. Treadwear rating is 100 on both tires as well. What did Tire Rack say was the big difference? The description of both the standard R888 and R state they are equally sucky in wet conditions.
