I currently run the Speedsters and used to run the R888Rs. I find the =
performance new to be pretty similar. However, the R888R tends to get =
loose and greasy when hot, 2/3 of the way through a race in the summer, =
where the Speedster holds up better for the duration. Speedsters wear =
faster, and cost more. Toyos wear like iron, but after 10-12 heat =
cycles they are not as good. I used to have the Toyos shaved, no need =
to do that with the Speedsters.
Just my 2 cents - running 205/60-13s on the GT6.=20
Can=E2=80=99t find good info on the R7 compound. Someone could call =
Hoosier and ask. =20
TDRs are a bias ply tire and don=E2=80=99t like negative camber =
(according to the Hoosier engineers) where the radial Speedster works =
well with it. I run almost 3 degrees negative front and rear. Lots of =
effort to switch between the two tires and compare. Looking at cars =
with TDRs on the track, they tend to =E2=80=9Cdrift=E2=80=9D more. Fun =
to watch, and seem to be quick.
