    Default New wheels on order - new rubber to order tomorrow... Whats next...

    Track wheels on order - now I still have to decide between R888's or go to Hoosier R6's.

    Had to upgrade the rubber because the Hawk DTC-70's are going to be a bit much for street compounds.

    Can't wait for the next track day Nov 7th. If your around Hallett (or want to come out) hit me up.

    Will those wells stay on the car, or are they just for the track

    I really think the R888's and R6's come down to a matter of prefrance...

    Both great choices!

    There is such a WORLD of difference between those tires, there not even on the same planet.
    Assuming they are going on an evora S the toyos & advan equiv are good extremely long lasting trackday tires but on the same car and track the hoosier's would be at least 2-3seconds faster.

    R6's are a bit softer compound--really depends on your driving skill and what you want out of a tire. I will say again though that they are both great tires...

    I'll be using the R888's pretty much only on the track.

    I'll be mounting them this week (they arrive 2 Tue. and 2 Wed.) so I'll post pics of the wheels and tires on the car I hope Fri. or Sat.

    Until then I'll leave this here:

    Carmic proof I cannot dance... Put both rear tires on in the "right" direction... two right feet makes it hard to dance lol.

    I'll be fixing it in the morning.
