Well guys I got my new set of BBS RA's for the W8 and I mounted up with a set of Toyo-T1S's..
I don't know why people are sleeping on this tire! Only the S03 and Pilots are better in dry conditions, and the T1-S is the best in rainy conditions. I think one of the reasons that folks sleep on Toyo's is the fact that Tirerack and other online vendors don't carry them.
Don't be a Tirerack slave, if you are looking for Max-Performance tires try the Toyo's!!
Second that. My "baby" sister has them on her MB C43 AMG and loves them. Her only complaint is that they are only going to last her about 15,000 miles, but that AMG V8 generates a lot of torque and eats up rear tires.
LOL, now here this.. In the words of my little sister; " You need to take your lazy good for nothing CISCO azz, and buy a digital camera so you can put pictures on the internet!".. So doggonit, I'm going to Best Buy this evening and find a camera so I can be a card-carrying member of ClubB5..
TR8WND, the RA's are just 18" VZ's with a 5 hole race mount. Here's a picture!
They do look very much like the VZs. Aside from the race mount holes, the spokes also seem "flatter". Nonetheless, they will look hot on your black W8.
The T1-S used to be relatively expensive as well. With tires like the ES100 being much cheaper, the T1-S has tough competition. But it'd be my choice if I didn't care about cost at all.
Well looks like the old Swami is going to have to see some folks on the track!!
