Looking for some input, I'm experiencing alot of wheel spin in 2nd gear, and some in 3rd as well on map 2 (93 octane, ~1100whp) now that the current rear 19" Toyo R888R's are getting down to their last 1/3 of tread above the wear indicators.
Spinning in 2nd gear was hit or miss when the tires were new, 3rd gear use to hold. Tires have never been below freezing or anything, properly taken care of. It is possible I could be experiencing some bead slip between the tire amd wheel, have not marked to test this however. My current 19" ADV1 wheels do not have the bead seat knurled.
I'm changing to a custom 18" beadlock setup on all 4 corners, and may just run a higher race gas map all the time as I don't drive it alot. Considering running this tire setup:
Front
Toyo R888R 245/40ZR18
25.7" OD, 9.8" width
808 revs/mile
Rear
Toyo RR 305/35ZR18
26.4" OD, 12.3" width
786 revs/mile
Do you guys have any experience with the Toyo RR out back? Better straight line traction on the street? They have a treadwear rating of 40 versus the 100 rating on an R888R so I'm quesstimating real world life of 2400-3200 miles, anybody tested this?
These will be used in Vegas where there is alot of greasy black top asphalt, obviously rain is not a concern.
