[DeTomaso] TOYO R888, Hoosier A6, Kumho Ecsta V710 tires

[LS]

Larry, I have run both 888s and R6s on the street and agree with most of the comments.

888s are simply AMAZING.

I try to fit 888s or RA1s onto all of my fun cars whenever possible.

888s are actually spectacular in the wet as long as you do not encounter standing water. 

They also wear quite well if treated properly.
