Is the Toyo R888R road legal?
Yes the R888R surpass the latest tyre labelling regulations to make them road legal.
The Toyo R888R is one of the only List 1B motorsport tyres you ca legally drive on the road. This makes them a perfect choice for competitors who only have a single set of tyres or want to avoid costly and time consuming tyre changes before racing.
The vast majority of semi-slick racing tyres are only suitable for track use and illegal to drive with on the road.
Can you use the Toyo R888R in rain?
The R888R is not designed to be used in wet conditions or in the rain. This is one of the reasons we wouldn’t recommend using the R888R as an everyday tyre. The tread design means it doesn’t disperse surface road water like a normal tyre and so has limited aqua-planning capabilities.
Can you use the R888R tyre every day?
As the R888R is a road legal tyre, there’s nothing to stop you using it daily. However, we wouldn’t recommend it as the R888R is not suitable for wet or cold roads and, due to it’s soft, grippy compound, will wear very quickly.
