[Fot] TR6 Racing Tire Question

[Tony Drews]

Mike, this is on a TR-4, but I've switched from the Speedsters to the 
R888R's and am very happy with the switch.  I get much longer tire life 
(primary factor in the switch), they don't get greasy halfway through a 
session like the Speedsters do (or at least they did for me), traction 
and handling characteristics are very similar, forgiving breakaway, and 
MUCH better in the wet than Speedsters.  I had to go plus 1 on the wheel 
diameter to keep the tire diameter the same since they don't make the 
R888R in 60 series.  I run 205/55-16's, but have run the 205/50 15's in 
the past and they are fine too.

Regards, Tony Drews
