Rear tire question
Hello!
I have a 2010 spyder rs, and thought about changing my rear tire for a toyo R888 tire.
Has anybody put this tire on a Spyder?

I've had good luck with the Toyo TR1 and the Proxess. The R888 is a soft racing tire, you would be lucky to get 5000 miles.

From those last couple of comments sounds like the sort of tire I need as I keep sliding the backend with the standard tire:-)

If your going to do it, skip the R888 and go with the RA1. It's about the same price and is a grippier tire that wears "better".
The thing to be careful with on these tires is obviously rain, which really isn't all that worse. But more importantly, temperature. The tires don't grip well cold at all.

I bought the toyo 888 today.

WEAR RATING
your TOYO r888 has a 'wear rating' UTQG of 100 AA A verses my KUMHO AST with a UTQG of 400 A A...
i got 25,000 miles out of my last KUMHO, and it's got all the grip i'll ever need...
may i ask: how much was the TOYO...? my KUMHO was $81...
TOYO is a gr8 look'n meat-ball... i luv it...

The wear is no problem for me, i'm only driving 1500 to 2000 miles à year. So I hope that it will last for three years.
